Most 'XXX day' is bloody stupid and can be done without. Men don't need it, because we know we are fcking good at what we do. We don't need to validate it, we just need to carve our own paths to greatness.
Women's day was originally for raising awareness for women's rights, which was never needed for men. Now both women's and men's day are useless, in my opinion, but still celebrated. Women's day just has more history, which makes it more known.
Because there are historical reasons as to why we choose to actively celebrate women on this day. Men's day was just added because otherwise, it would have been unfair.
I'm not someone that celebrates this date, just a normal day, however I understand why "Man's day" doesn't work as well. Women's day it's like the LGTB day, it remembers a certain date something happened despite some people have forgotten it. While Man's day it's not in a certain date due to something happening, it's just set that date because, and was accepted just because it felt unbalanced that there were woman's day and not men's. So Men's day lack of that story behind the others days do have.
Also most achievements we celebrate the rest of the year are made by men, so we celebrate men achievements practically all the year. So men's day becomes meaningless.
Womens day has been around longer so people are used to celebrating it. Eventually both days will get equal celebration. But I don't think men care as much about it. This type of celebration appeals more to women, just like valentines day, or mothers day, it's just another occasion to get flowers. men care less, they are more into the superball day, or national championship of some kind of sports day lol
Something will only go as far as people who believe in it take it. Some women actively celebrate women's day, wether it's a post on social media or some sort of event. Now from what I've seen men don't really celebrate there day. I'm sure some do but I've never seen anything to suggest you guys really give it much thought. So I think that's probably a big reason why, cuz guys don't really recognize it to begin with.
I think women just like "x day" more.. like Valentine's day or anything else.. women love a reason to celebrate and get spoilt. From the guys around me (just the guys around me... I'm sure other guys have different views).. men prefer less of a lavish/dramatic thing on one day... and prefer consistantly good treatment right through...
I don't know but men matter too they should have that. It might have to do with women not having all the rights in the old days and now they do so that is being celebrated while men usually have always had rights so that's why it's so special for a woman sorry if that didn't make sense. I'm hungry
Because we don't really need a specific day to try and make us feel better or tell us special we are, as men we get on with life day in and day out enjoying every moment not making excuses that we are some oppressed victim and don't get caught up in some silly nonsense.
For real, I recently got comfortable with my boyfriend and he said my mind was a scary thing. When he was first getting to know me I was shy, then I warned him wait until I get comfortable with you.
@Lightning8 Im not doubting that. There are many catty women and abusive men. I dont think you can call either gender in its entirety evil without having some serious damage done to your world view though...
How about men and women are not perfect, and no one is good. So let’s not judge each like where supposed to be perfect, which is why I don’t agree women day and acting like women are so holy. Because that leads to pride and as an imperfect being there’s really nothin to be proud about
@chris_987 Or... how about being proud of what both sexes have accomplished.. agree we are not perfect.. agree we are not on different teams.. and agree to strive to be better human beings all round? I'm a cup half full kind of girl...
I’m a Christian, I’m alone proud of what god has accomplished, show me some that not proud of anything they do and I’ll show you someone that can really be trust.
Pride leads to a fall and the sooner you realize that the quicker you can practice humility and start living life the way you’re supposed too
Probably because we have better things to do than to spend time complaining. Also, feminists tend to hate everything related to masculinity and so they try to discredit legitimate men's rights points as "you are already the privileged ones". Also, men don't need a day for them to feel better aout themselves.
over saturation perhaps... i mean there have only been a handful of womens days so far but every other day since the beginning of time has been mans day
oh i now see this was the comment of a troll...99.9percent chance of being a guy too. how pathetic to create an account just to dig at me when in reality i dont give a shit what incels think
Maybe because men dont celebrate it as much? Its not like you see groups of men out everywhere marching for mens issues.. there are probably about the same number of women that hate mens day as men that hate womens day. Id say the average person doesn't give a shit about either but will be more inclined to celebrate womens day because women do more for their day.
Because womens day is principal for getting same payment and equal rights... but still they get just flowers
Man's day on the other side is every day because, mens getting better paid as women, and those right women want to have man still hold... so for what is men's day again, right, for nothing...
Well men's day was kind of created so people don't feel left out and complain about it like every other celebration day that was made to appease a group that wasn't included in the first
Because women are lesser and need to make up for it by making a lot of noise. If they contributed as much as men then they wouldn't need to compensate.
Regardless of whether there is anything sexist in their lives, many women love to rally around things like this as an excuse to get together and get high on compliments and "empowerment."
Because men only bring up International Men's Day on International Women's Day. If it's so important that you have a day, why weren't you celebrating it on November 19?
So did you post something on GAG in celebration of International Men's Day then? Because I think the problem is most men don't care about how celebrated it is until they see how much women celebrate their day. You have all the power to spread the word about it, so why don't you?
Can you link me to it? Because you're one of the only people who posted about it. Most men didn't bother to post anything about International Men's Day until March 8. At least, I didn't see anything about International Men's Day on November 19.
Okay, but the point still stands that men were quiet about International Men's Day until they saw women celebrating themselves. You and a select few others are the exception (if you're telling the truth), but the majority of men don't care until they see that women have something they presumably don't.
Because women have to have the spotlight now seeing as we men have had it for all history, and if we but make one sign of presence in this world we oppress them, as according to feminists.
It probably has more meaning as women were struggling a bit in the rights department in the past, which now is not the case but the celebration still continued at the same size. So it really makes no sense, why not use both days equally to celebrate how much progress we have made and achieved! :)
because men are not appreciated as a gender. we live in a female white matriarchy suppressing men and denying their livestyle trying to eliminate their nature.
That is historically inaccurate, not only did women get the vote, but so did poor men, and even further back it was only land owners (and in Britain Woman land owners also had the vote, then lost it).
not the degree that they need to be having movements over it. I have never seen guys riot or bitch about things like that. I'm not saying no man cares, we just don't care that much. Women can have a huge party on Women's day all they want. I don't care about any of that. They do, or they care more.
You couldn't possibly be wondering this unless you look at this from a vaccuum. As if there is no historical or cultural context that you could investigate.
Outside of that as well. You realize that child marriage still happens in the US and native women are still oppressed in Canada? Don't act like gender discrimination isn't a thing in the West, because even you people have a long way to go.
What you shouldn’t do is act like you opinions are correct cause at the end of the day if you can defend your statement then you really shouldn’t believe in them, now as a Canadian citizen I can say that native people are oppressed in my opinion because they have to much rights they get free land and don’t pay taxes, if live is easy then there’s no reason to work hard thus all the drug and alcohol abuse. And when it comes to gender discrimination men are more discriminated against than women, turn on the tv for five seconds and all you see is women disrespected men and say that we are evil. So if your arguments are valid you should be able to deconstruct my argument but if they’re not then you’ll leave because you hate being challenged.
@chris_987 um i do watch TV and read newspaper all i see is news about some man burning his wife alive for dowry or some two year old child getting raped 🙃
I also had to represent Canada at this one UN simulation conference and I perfectly know what I am saying because I had to do thorough research staying up at nights to learn about discrimination against native people in Canada.
Lol but you see the difference in my argument vs your? Your 17 I’m 32 I’ve traveled all across Canada and worked in every province along side native people and spoke to them, your ran a simulation! So tell me why any one should believe you more than me?
And if a man in India is burning his wife for dowry that doesn’t mean all women are oppressed, it means that women in India are looked at as less than a man, the key word there is India.
Why do you assume feminists hate men's day. And regardless, men have always had their day. Only until recently it was technically men's day everyday lol
