Happy International Men's Day: November 19th

[Anonymous]

Happy International Men's Day! Every year, International Men's day is celebrated on November 19th. The day serves as an opportunity to recognize and celebrate the lives, accomplishments, and roles of men and boys, particularly in areas such as family, marriage, community, nation-building, and childcare.This years theme is "Positive Male Role Models," and highlights the positive value men bring to the world, their families and communities.

The six pillars and the objectives of International Men's Day are:

-To promote positive male role models; not just movie stars and sports men but everyday, working-class men who are living decent, honest lives.
-To celebrate men's positive contributions to society, community, family, marriage, child care, and the environment.
-To focus on men's health and wellbeing: social, emotional, physical, and spiritual.
-To highlight discrimination against men in areas of social services, social attitudes and expectations, and law.
-To improve gender relations and promote gender equality.
-To create a safer, better world, where people can be safe and grow to reach their full potential

On this day, you are encouraged to show your appreciation to the men in your life that have had some type of positive impact.

Things you can do on International Men's Day Are:

-You can spend some much needed quality time with a male friend or family member
-Honor a male hero with a certificate of appreciation
-Discuss with your male partner or family member how they are really feeling, check in with them on their mental health, and talk to them about the stresses they endure and seek ways to alleviate them.
-Let your son, brother, father, partner decide how they'd like to celebrate the day and spend that time with them
-Donate to a charity or outreach that supports men's mental or physical health and rehabilitation
-Post to your social media highlighting men's issues or honor a male figure in your life
-Attend any local events or forums on International Men's Day

Love your description, I would like to add comments to everything…. Though all I can do is this:

-To promote positive male role models; not just movie stars and sports men but everyday, working-class men who are living decent, honest lives. Decency, honor, respect, responsibility, equity, and standing up for what you believe in & giving a voice to the voiceless and advocating for change when applicable.
-To celebrate men's positive contributions to society, community, family, marriage, child care, and the environment. Men play an important role just like women and deserve their applause, support, and love just like everyone deserves a shot (will say the same come International Womens Day, You Go Girl!)
-To focus on men's health and wellbeing: social, emotional, physical, and spiritual.
-To highlight discrimination against men in areas of social services, social attitudes and expectations, and law. Mental health, physical health, and emotional well being are serious issues that should be talked about not just to women, but men as well. Men are being neglected and this is a good way to showcase it on International Mens Day though should be advocated everyday.
-To improve gender relations and promote gender equality. Love ya women! Women are an essential part of human culture and we wouldn’t be here without them, God Bless You! Thank you for your contributions on society as a whole.🙏🏻
-To create a safer, better world, where people can be safe and grow to reach their full potential Fight Climate Change! Protect The Planet! Support Communities Struggling To Make A Better Brighter Day! 🌎🫂🫂🫂🫂

While I do appreciate you posting about this (and I really do). I just wish we could get away from all these silly gender, orientation, identity, etc “days”. The best thing we could really do is get rid of both international woman’s days and international men’s day.

You can celebrate men by getting away from all the cancerous radical feminism that’s plagued modern society in the last 15 years. Women need to shun any radical “movements” not matter how trendy they are. This includes #metoo and now this new bs 4WB movement (but I have doubts that will catch on). Just avoiding and shunning any movements that explicitly says “oh we are fighting patriarchy” in the modern world would be great for men.

Below is a great example of a book I saw prominently displayed at my local tax payer funded library. It would be great if woman called out the librarians who decided to prominently display this bullshit.

The me two movement has less to do with women and more to do with people who have gotten sexually assaulted. Men have participated in the movement as well… And you saying you want to abolish the movement says a lot about your character. Do you even care about women and their bodies? You sound uneducated.

[blueonblack22]

@Yesimacatcher yes this why Johnny Deppe was blackballed for 5 years from Hollywood from unsubstantiated allegations when HE was the victim all along.

And after Amber Herd was a proven liar and abuser did she get blackballed from Hollywood? Of course not. She continued to get roles (aqua man). She’s a young leftist female. She will never have to worry about being shunned within her industry no matter how egregiously disgusting her actions are.

I categorically reject your definition of what #metoo was all about. That is a blanket bs excuse just cover for #metoo’s true objective: radical feminist misandry and discrimination against men. The “token” incidents of men speaking up don’t give the movement cover either.

There is not a single man I can appreciate in my life right now. I just left an abusive relationship. My father is selfish and narcissistic. But fortunately I had a lovely grandfather who did his best to raise me. It’s been 4 years since he passed, and while he wasn’t perfect, he was the best dad a girl could have had. So I’ll honour him.

thanks for sharing this gonna call my dad and let him know he's the king

Thank you! Appreciating and celebrating all the good things men do in the world every day is something that has been out of fashion for decades. Nice to see it making a comeback.

A message to the other ladies out there... appreciation and respect is a two-way street. Want men to appreciate and respect women? Try setting a good example for a change.

Only here to read all the attacks by feminists towards International Men's Day because they don't want mens issues to see the light of day and would prefer womens issues overshadow men's issues

[ManOnFire]

Did not know this existed but it's a nice little nod to men.

[SolitarySolace]

Its funny how men say huh... I didn't know we had a day... That's good. Then proceed to forget about it until November 19th of the upcoming year 😅

[ManOnFire]

@SolitarySolace It's never talked about so I was unaware of it.

[SolitarySolace]

Are you gonna remember now that you know that there's a day to acknowledge men's issues and health? Personally, I think men's day, women's day and women's month should all be abolished because people shouldn't have to have a day to acknowledge the issues anyone faces. People already don't give a shit about men's issues. People only give a shit about womens issues because women create life and men are only here to die

[Snakeyes7]

Congratulations, you do a better job promoting International Men's Day than the UN a couple years back which just tweeted out telling men to stop being the problem by being "allies" instead.

Best day of my life ( not )

I honestly couldn't care less about international men's day to be honest 😂

[Paris13]

Beautiful, dear. Will be Acknowledging my Partner tomorrow. xxoo

[SolitarySolace]

Shouldn't you be acknowledging your partner every day?

[DerekC321]

Sorry my bad, I thought it was irrational men's day
