What would it achieve?
I know you feel repressed because other people are suddenly wanting rights too!
Omg can you believe it? How dare they want to be equal to men. The world must be coming to an end... So sad... Men are so repressed in today's nations!
Wake up and smell the stench boy! If you'd ever get the idea to look beyond your bedroom doors, you'd realize that the UN is not representing your neighborhood alone where you believe women are stripping you of your god given right to destroy the planet. More nations are struggling with discrimination agains women than you could think of.
Just a few example, 2 days ago Nepal passed a law forbidding families to relocate women into dens during their periods and after giving birth. Women die in those holes every year because those sheds the women are banned to have no sanitation, no heating and no proper locks.
Women in saudi arabia can not leave the house alone. They are literally forbidden to go anywhere. Women in india are killed over their dowries.
I don't see men being banned to sheds, getting forbidden to attend public places without their sisters/mothers /wives or men getting killed for not providing enough dowry. Women get raped and killed in india while going to the toilet because of lacking sanitation inside homes.
Of course the white American man you are, you don't see these things. You sit on your bed and whine all day because in the usa men have to pay child support and alimony to women they no longer get to sleep with.
Now if your attitude toward the world isn't selfish and self centered I don't know what is!
I'd say it's pretty pointless to have any day acknowledging anything.
Surely they should be recognised everyday and not just once a year.
It's a bit like how Christmas has become a day to recognise family and good will rather than just being a religious holiday (though it being commercialised probably has something to do with it).
I'd say it's pointless to have any day dedicated to some thing because it kind of makes it become less significant really since it's only one day to acknowledge it rather than it always being acknowledged which to me makes the whole idea of making it become acknowledged on a specific day pointless if you want a voice or opinion to be heard.
There shouldn't be a woman's day or men's day or any other day really it should be celebrated everyday and not once a year.
I suppose I'm repeating myself but to me it's pointless to celebrate anything really if it's only once a year.
But to be honest I feel that the fact that men's day isn't acknowledged (I hadn't even heard of it before this) just goes to show how the "majority" has become silenced over a vocal minority or even then the way it seems is that men are now treated lesser than women or even just lesser in general.
At this current point in time (GMT 22:44) the percentage of males to females is 50.4% for men and 49.6% for women and the global population is around 7.5 billion.
Yes, and February 24 is "Defend the Donut" Day. So fucking what. Organizations can apply to have nearly anything recognized as a "day." They usually do so to promote or fundraise for something. So, if you want it officially recognized, go get it done. Nobody just hands them out, somebody actually went and did paperwork. So, go for it.
Fyi, the responses of some males are pretty ridiculous. Anyone shouting about how women contributed nothing to the advancement of society is either stupid, or just not great with google. Both men and women have contributed to advance all of the fields we have to where they are now, and know what's funny? None of the actual leaders in any field discount the contributions of the opposite gender like those who sit on blogs and streetcorners and don't contribute in their own right. Every male and female who is/has contributed has been too focused on their work and actually contributing.
I'd love to see a male day recognized. There's a bunch of really badass things men have done just like women, and if anything, these silly days should be reminders of contributing something positive. Not whining about the opposite gender.
I would love to see a national men's day get recognized- that's what real equality means. If we are going to have a women's day, we need a men's day too. Both genders are valuable and contribute greatly to society. Both deserve to be recognized and celebrated. I am 100% on board with that. However, I think it's important to keep in perspective that the current lack of recognition results from the fact that men were not traditionally discriminated against. There isn't the extensive history of oppression with men that there is with women.
I did not but I could have guessed that easily. The UN is a cesspool of feminist ideologues. This is the same organization that first started the wage gap myth so I'm not surprised that they don't give a fuck about men lol
Yes, the UN is sexist and has many female only days but ignores male days. Feminist generally protest men's day.

If the UN is going to promote or plan world activities for days it recognizes I think it'd be important for them to *officially* recognize it but if they just put it on a list & leave it at that (since most people don't know what the UN does & doesn't do) it probably isn't that important.
BUT it *is* important for countries & communities to know & to do something about. Men's health education, Men's shed type initiatives & giving guys a platform to talk about things they've been through that can improve other guys lives & the community as a whole. It's when guys are built up by the women around them that they can encourage us to be all we can be.
Hey, the toilet was a great achievement. It was a great step forward and has greatly reduced the rate of death due to water-borne disease, among others. The sanitary sewer is humanity's crowning achievement, if you ask me. It was when we finally decided to lift ourselves up out of the gutters and into something clean.
Let's be real, who gives a fuck? who gives a duck about women's day? only women and white knights. It's a useless day, which has got promoted by business owners to sell stupid things like pussycat hat. Men don't buy stupid shit they don't need, so there's no point for having a man's day.
And this women's day, or kids day are like birthdays and wedding, stupid things that women like because it's meant to give them a sense of good feeling. I personally despite birthday cause I'm not a kid anymore.
And guys don't bring yourself down to women's level, they get hyped up with their own day, while we earn more on average.
Let the children have their cake.
There should not be need to have a men's day or even women's day. Except some parts of the world, no one needs awareness regarding gender equality. In developed societies those who don't understand equality, are never going to understand it anyway.
But I agree, if there's women's day, there should be a men's day as well.
I don't need a holiday to appreciate being a man. I carry a gun, I drive a truck made by people in my country, I listen to rock, I can cook a good steak, and yesterday I replaced the water softener for my house instead of paying someone else to do it.
Lets be honest everyday that's not someone else's is man's day. Everyone wants to be strive to be closer to a man's level or good for you for being different in this man controled world. It still the bench mark that all figure out where they fit in the world.
Im not saying its anyones fault but a slow evolution of ethics revolving around the self intrest of the once powerful since the start of man. See the "start of man" do men really need a day with normal phrases like these throw around.
The guy who started International Men's Day , did it to bring men and women together. Clearly from the responses from the women, we can see why men aren't as empathetic towards women anymore with their struggles, because they don't give a fuck about men. It takes two hands to clap... so if you want me to help you... you have to be willing to help me.
It shouldn't be recognised, nor should International Women's Day.
You get recognition and satisfaction through a job well done, not through having a penis or vagina.
But if there is a Women's Day, there should be a Men's Day; my point is that Women's Day must have been thought up by some severely autistic ape, and just shouldn't have been a thing in the first place.
Is anyone really surprised?
To put it plainly as a man I would care much less about "recognition" days if the feminists would just stop their victimization bullshit. They keep saying that gender shouldn't matter but at the same time want to be feel "special" and "entitled". #theredpill
The inference here, I anticipate, is that the UN recognises a women's day but not a men's day.
In 20 years time, you 20-somethings will be running your country. Please make a better job of it than the current rash of politicians.
I don't need a buncha corrupt, useless bastards in suits giving me permission to feel good. Every day is men's day in my life. I rule my roost. Leave all that shite for the weak and pathetic cunts
GAG made me realise that most females (at least those who are here on GAG) are nothing but stupid, selfish and ignorant people who havw an IQ of a nine year old. Just read the conversations here. Pathetic. They only have emotions for themselves, they can't think rationally and they are nowhere as compassionate as men.
Duh. Men are not allowed to feel pride or fight for their gender. Just like whites can't be proud of their race or Germans can't be proud of their pus past.
This reminds me of a joke I heard.
I had a friend in university major in women's studies, and I thought that it was pretty sexist that there was no men's studies to chose from. But then I realized there was a men's studies course, it's called History.
I didn't even know there WAS an International Men's Day, but I don't care anyway. The UN could screw up a wet dream.
Who cares? That has zero impact on my life or any other rational guy whatsoever. That's like celebrating there being water in the ocean. Ridiculous.
and this effects anyone how? did you know thousands of people starved to death today, where is their celebration?
I can't even count the amount of fucks I have to give. Probably because there are zero
i can't believe so many women are saying "who cares" and just mocking it. if womens day wasn't recognized, all these women would be out marching and protesting for recognition of equality. women are so unreasonable that its pathetic
Why would men want their own day. Real men ignore praise.
