Search Results: attention of other men

Up until three years I didn’t know International Men’s Day existed. It was founded back in 1991. However the United Nations still doesn’t observe but they definitely observe international women’s day.

For a long time I was against any “days” except my bday period. I believe the greatest minority is the individual. Giving special attention to a group of people may seem well intentioned. But it is also telling them they are more special than others just for existing. Psychologically this can be counter productive for many reasons. But that’s a separate long topic.

Anyway after seeing a ton more social messaging for “international women’s day” I thought twice about this. My thinking went from to slightly annoyed to borderline angry after seeing its “International Women’s MONTH” now. Why is that only one day always turn into an entire month with these things?

I think us guys (and thoughtful women) need to take international men’s day seriously this year. Do something for yourself and make it fun preferably masculine. My brother and I like to go shooting sometimes. I’ll call him up and take him to the range. I’ll make sure to post on social media about International men’s day. I won’t use the day to blame women for anything but just to be proud to be man.

Who is with me? We only get a day instead of a month. Might as well do something for us for once.
