Its stated goals are to bring more awareness to issues men face, like suicide, abuse, homelessness, and violence. It also is for celebrating men’s lives, achievements, and contributions. The joke (if you do need it explained) is Women’s Day without fail brings sexist men out of the woodwork. They bitterly complain about it, and whine that having such a day set aside just for women is discrimination, and that there should be a Men’s Day (totally either not realizing or not caring that such a day exists already). permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [+] MourningDove@lemmy.zip 7 points 11 months ago (3 children) [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 3 child comments replies: [–] Seleni@lemmy.world 7 points 11 months ago (2 children) That is the usual rejoinder we women give lol. Along with pointing out that maybe, instead of complaining about our day, these men could put their efforts towards increasing the awareness of Men’s Day (and I do feel it needs more awareness).

Like its the worlds shittiest competition. Reddit is horrible for it. Women claiming that men need to sort out their own shit. We try, and they call it toxic because its a group of men and no women. Like the men in sheds thing. It was supposed to be about men finding connections, because we apparently struggle with that. And a bunch of women started moaning about how they were being excluded. Some caved, and made it just another open to all thing. Which there already is plenty of. Theres a lot of bad actors on the internet. And one the main targets of these people is dealing with mens issues. permalink fedilink source parent load more comments (1 reply)
