TL:DR - Yes. Shockingly Men's Day exists. But one search online would tell you everything that's wrong with the human race honestly. Only here we'll hold you before the mirror, call you a fool if you are one, and tell you to start with the lifting, read the stuff and implement them for your own good, and respect you when you succeed. And if any one tells you social media isn't biased, never, ever believe them.

EDIT : Yeah. It's really late. I've wondered why the hell I've not been able to get this post up despite trying continuously for like a week now. As it turns out, reddit is too touchy about me using some politically incorrect, but factually correct labels.

I am actually surprised there is actually something called an International Men's Day. I only got to know of it even when a couple of greeting pics got sent on the family group and some friends posted about it on Facebook - it seems to be getting a little popular now -- but obviously it's nowhere on the radar compared to the scale of International Women's Day. I am pretty shocked that such a thing is even allowed to exist in today's popular narrative. Surely it can only mean one thing...

For the record, a typical women's day in my extended family and social circles usually involves the women doing whatever it takes when she thinks she hasn't got enough of validation from the men (which is the norm). So being butt hurt is essentially their right on this day.

My first reaction was to imagine a mental image of a beta husband getting butt hurt trying to negotiate validation for himself for being a man with his wife, and getting obviously burned in the process, and telling myself never to become that guy cause one, why take seriously something that changes like the weather and because you're a fool when you live by other people's approval, and die by their rejection, without any authenticity. Any husband in my whole family group and virtually everyone in the neighborhood or the entire state could easily be that guy. What else would men's day even be for?

So ok, I go to social media, search for the men's day messages, and predictably, what I find is a curated collection :

A lip service to the statistics, the men taking their lives, the men getting killed, the mental illness, the prison sentences, the homeless men, the dangerous low level jobs, the workplace deaths, the falling academic grades, but NOT the divorce stats, the infertility and low T levels or the false abuse claims or dead beadrooms -- of course.

Lots of messages about being emotional, vulnerable, and talking to others about the shit you're actually supposed to fix. Mostly by women, supported by their reverential white knights.

You have people and celebrities with mental and emotional issues, and habits (drugs, alcohol, the like), telling other men to be vulnerable because being vulnerable = showcasing your shit at all levels of your being and not your toned muscular body.

Lots of women approving messages from men who promise to be their saviors and treat them like the princesses they are (while the real issue is only if she actually feels that kind of admiration for her man)

A couple of male jokers in ballerina costumes claiming masculinity is a social construct - I don't think I can unsee that. Or photos of Justin Bieber.

Masculinity is all about men crying pics and memes and that men are shamed into hiding their fragility.

Men can be feminine -- no seriously look up Twitter right now, you'll get it in 30 seconds of scrolling.

Men's day as a celebration of the fragile beings were are underneath that mask. To all the strong men out there...

An actual message that claims Men's Day actually happens on April 1st...

Let's talk, let's talk. Open up. (so we can find out if you've got issues and put you into the reject bin). Usually at a meet chaired by women. But do nothing of worth.

A few angry feminists claiming in all their apparently Buddhahood levels of sage wisdom that "Every day is a man's day. It's women who don't get appreciated". In today's America (and the rest of the developed world).

Lots of men talking about the challenges and shit they face, what they do to support their families, and the things they've achieved with their sweat and blood and lives, probably expecting women to understand their sacrifices and give them validation and maybe even sex like the great empathetic and understanding beings we think they are. Guess who upvoted?

Some messages about how men are fathers, brothers, and husbands and any role that purely exists relative to others in terms of utility where the man is a sacrificial offering. And how they can be better providers at said roles in getting other people's needs met at the cost of their own.

Some people pointing out that the equality of sexes is so fake in real life. But...

Not one, not ONE image of a guy who lifts and looks healthy. Forget mentally healthy, mentally strong guys. Men are strong? Mentally strong? Wow, since when?

Not a single link to anything that actually tells you what you need to do about solving these issues.

Nothing, not one thing, about the athletes, the geniuses, the musicians, the artists, the builders, the talented, the skilled, the sportsmen, the mentally strong, the warriors, the wise, the soldiers, the masters, the heroes, the lovers, the sages, the scientists, the problem solvers, the engineers, the enterpreneurs, the inventors, the garbage cleaners -- not even the men who've made a lot of money !!

Ok, one or two quotes from the great men of the past who actually talked about challenges, grit, strength, character, respect, wisdom and greatness, none of whom exist today. Even if they did they probably wouldn't get past the outrage disease. Somewhere down the list, somewhere buried under the haystack.

Nothing appreciating a man by the larger society or women. Just a few men patting themselves on the back.

NOTHING about an attractive man, and his qualities, duh, it might just expose the truth.

Seriously, I just realized virtually everything that's wrong with the human race in this one search. Wikipedia seems to claim it's legit and it's meant to help men's issues (it was started by a man after all, and apparently he faced a lot of opposition from feminists), but I wonder if at the end they've actually made any kind of positive difference in even one man's life so far.

All of this shows you just one thing - society is so fucked they have no fucking clue what a man or masculinity is, or are in denial. They can't give it to you. Masculinity is a gift we learn the hard way, give it to ourselves and show the world where it is.

Also social media is very highly biased in favor of the blue pilled narrative. All search engines and social media sites boosted any message supporting the popular narrative up to the top. I had a long way to go before I found a Roosevelt,

These people writing the popular narrative are too messed up themselves to be of any help to men - they're the very reason why so many boys and men are messed up at so many levels. So it's up to us - and it works so much better that way too. Unfortunately it only works when we've been hit hard by the red lightning bolt of reality and shocked awake out of delusion.

If we don't, someone else will set the frame for us, and that will be our prison.

Society's image of a man is all about his utility value and his issues these days. In those days when we spoke of men, we looked at the greatest of our kind - older, wiser, who walked the path, who were respected. We still did until recently, until social media was invented. After that it even became fashionable and the norm to depict the hero as the guy with the biggest issues rather than the most awesome character in the show.

This world ain't going to see us as anything but a problem or a utility, but only as long as we let them, and act as living proof of their assumptions.

And honestly, no place out there except here now has all the stuff you need to know that will help you become this man you are meant to become. But it's your responsibility to put it all to work. No one can do that for you.

So on International Men's day, let me give you guys something that will actually prove useful to you in your journey to becoming the proud man you are supposed to be (it's where we all start) :

Legion athletics website -- the articles on how to build a workout routine, how to lose fat and gain muscle, how to diet for cut and bulk and how to increase your testosterone

The point is not all those supplements he wants to sell at the end, it's the workout advice - it's seriously legit. You can get his books, I made real gains for the first time in my life and I thought I had shitty genes before that. It also fixed a lot of my mental weaknesses. These are the first of the real issues we face, and these are the first of solutions that actually benefit us. Now that is a gift worthy of men's day.

Every book on the sidebars you need are cheap on amazon and free to download on library genesis. Any book by a Navy seal or a sportsman who pushed themselves past their limits to get where they are will be inspirational for the mind. It's time to work.

Today, instead of doing our own version of a butt hurt woman needing special validation on women's day, let's just send that to the grave for good. Of what use is the hollow lip service from these idiots anyway? When we know the truth, validation seems fake especially when you realize where the feedback is coming from.

If people actually gave men real stuff that could help them in their lives, this so called men's day would actually be something of worth, rather than the retarded, lip service, make things worse hogwash they turn out to be.

The mirror in your room and the mirror of life never lies to you.

PS : And before you rush in to comment on what you think a man should be and make a to-do list on what is probably your first comment on the sub, I hope you've spent the time reading the sidebars of this and mrp, at least getting your ass to start exercising and have done the work enough to get it, at least gained some success at gaming and frame, got out of validation addiction, have high standards for yourself, and have started figuring out what you need to be and how to get there. A man isn't made in a day. It's for life.
