Because we're in the era of neo-feminism. And whatever issue men have is considered as peanuts compared to women. And even if it's serious, they'll tell you that it's their own fault, somehow.
Kind of like the idiots who think it's my fault I live in a homeless shelter despite being medically limited to a desk job, get hired almost exclusively in temporary positions with long gaps in between, and have a master's degree.
We live in a feminist society. All of us were raised being taught with the black and white mindset that men are privileged and women are oppressed. That we live in a culture designed to benefit men over women. People see the world through this lens so they ignore men's issues mostly.
Feminists might say that they care about men's issues but usually they don't care about these very real issues here. They don't care about the things men care about - while they encourage men to be more open with our feelings they're the first to insult those who do and accuse them of whining.
Instead, the only "men's issues" they care about have to do with their own agenda to emasculate men and stamp out "toxic masculinity" - things like encouraging guys to cry more, raising boys to be gender-neutral (basically, raising them in a way that discourages masculinity).
It is sad, but it won't change. Most people have the wrong ideas on how to help men in my opinion, especially the feminists, because we're taught so much bullshit about men and women. Even the approach of men's rights activists I think is completely ineffective and wrong. They're trying to use feminist tactics to help men which won't work.
It is indeed, but so are MRAs. I think the only way to help men is to do the complete opposite to the feminists. MRAs attempt to help men by encouraging them to see themselves and others to see them as victims in need, basically more emasculation. Instead I think it's more helpful to encourage men to be strong, to be capable, to be successful, because that's what I think is really missing these days with all the anti-male anti-masculine bullshit.
I have no problem here. Each day I wish to, is ''men's day'' for me. I don't see myself like an endangered species, or a subdued minority, or such :D Really: make Nov. 19th more useful. It could be ''world bee's day'', or ''international potato festival''.
Yes same with women’s issues on women’s day but these particular issues are not talked about enough so having a day is supposed to help draw attention but obviously as the question points out the entire day is ignored anyways so it will never get the needed attention
Its underrated because there is a certain number of feminists that believe that men are the root of all evil and that we should just go extinct.. Take things like prostate cancer.. It kills more men annually than breast cancer but gets less than 1% of the research funding that breast cancer does.
In this world unless you have a vagina or are a child you simply do not matter.. Its sickening.
As far as I know, neither men's or women's Day (if that is a thing) really get attention here. It's always a day for mothers and a day for parent that actually are quite big and on the news and such
I agree. To be honest, women's day is strange to me too. I know both excist tho. I agree that longer prison sentenses for men are wrong. I think it's about that we still think that women are just harmless little kids, which is not true. They should get full sentenses too.
I guess it's because men are busy dealing with those problems until it get to the point that we don't care about our day anymore that is why men don't address it. When someone try to address it it's like inviting people do something they are not interested at...
Men are not really interested about their birthdays anymore. Even special occasions like Christmas, new year, Thanksgiving or etc. Because that is not their number one priority. Sometimes at work industry, they don't let you leave just because it's a holiday.
It's easy!. Because we are expendable, we can be spent like money, by the society, we have been done that for ages.. We joined Hunting parties, and died fighting for food or from poison,.. It was our job to defend against l sorts of threats.. Including in invading armies..
And if today an Alien race attacks earth!. Men will be recruited vastly to fight on ground and in space..
i support men and boys and girls and women and the left and feminism is a disease that destroys everything in it's path as a conservative i support the right
Because men have never once been celebrated for existing. This is a time when women are congratulated for handling basic life things, and we put up with it because sex is nice.
I've known about for years I just choose not to "celebrate" it just like I don't "celebrate" women's days. Too many 'special' days for me to keep track of and even care about.
Because women only tend to care about themselves, when they look for a partner it's for the benefit of themselves. It's never about loving the man, it's what HE can DO for HER.
Everyday is just a day for anyone and it's boring and dedicating it to a group specifically is nice because we can take time to look at that group only
A lot of women say that, but when the chips are down, they'll walk away faster than anyone. Why? Because men are supposed to benefit women. When he's confident, gets shit done, and keeps his composure no matter how tough things get, he's a man.
When he's depressed, trying to get his shit together, or cracks even the slightest under pressure, he's a worthless loser.
That's not true. A lot of the guys I know have at least once got into a point where they were so overwhelmed with a lot that they cried infront of me and I never, not even for a second, thought they were worthless losers. I'd stay supporting them. A man doesn't have to be overly confident for me to appreciate and look up to and see him as a real man.
You're still a child, though. It's normal to care equally when you're being provided for. When you're out in the real world, and at least partially dependent on him, it'll change. He becomes either an asset or a liability.
Sorry, but that's the truth. And really, that's the way it should be. I've taken the same mindset when it comes to women, and relationships are so much easier now. I mean, there are times when life gets anybody down, but if dealing with her weakness becomes a habit, I just get rid of her. I don't want anybody getting in my way.
I mean seriously... women don't want a weak man because they'd have to put up with his drama and issues all the time. It's a hell of a lot easier. I get it now.
