When Is International Men’s Day? On The Eve Of International Women’s Day Men Are Curious; Know Date & More
Missed posting for #InternationalMensDay this year, but the r/bald community on Reddit seems to be doing a bang-up job re: positive masculinity / community support / healthy body image. 🫶✨
Been seeing lots of wholesome posts hit the main page lately; their shared experiences and the responses seem to be helping destroy the stigma. Good riddance!

Well the post on Mastodon regarding #InternationalMensDay seemed mostly non-toxic & in good spirit (including ones from women) but I'm not sure about other platforms.
EDIT: It was also trending as the top hashtag for 2 or 3 days.

Dads4Kids is using International Men’s Day to push anti-feminist, anti-LGBTQI+ views. I think International Men’s Day has potential as a good cause, though all too often it is overshadowed by people hijacking it to push their own awful ideology. I'm so tired of hearing sexist men sooking about International Women’s Day and unironically asking "Why is there no International Men’s Day?"
Dads4Kids, also known as Fatherhood Foundation, is a hate-group led by Christian fundie, Warwick Marsh. He's acting as though he's the global leader/organiser/owner of International Men’s Day. He's appropriating the movement to spread hate against LGBTQIA+ people, women, and the concept of feminism. He's on record for making transphobic comments such as "homosexuality is a mental disorder" and "many have left the homosexual lifestyle," which I think amounts to promoting the harmful practice of "gay conversion." I think Warwick Marsh exudes Divorced Dad Energy, and he appears to hate anyone who he feels is a threat to his sense of entitlement and toxic masculinity.

I think I missed #internationalMensDay but I've been thinking a lot lately about male mentorship, not the business kind, but coaching peers and young men on emotional literacy and interpersonal skills.
There's been a lot of talk lately about women not doing #emotionalLabour (valid!) but it leaves a gap, with no history or cultural infrastructure for men to learn and build capacity.
Fellas, hit me with moments of man-on-man emotional mentoring. I know it's out there.
💪🧡
Happy International Men's Day 💙
🎧 A final thought about #InternationalMensDay...
ORVILLE PECK and WILLIE NELSON's "Cowboys Are Frequently Secretly Fond Of Each Other" (2024).
Willie: "And a cowboy may brag about things that he's done with his women,, but the ones who brag loudest are the ones that are most likely Queer."
Amen!

I think I already commented this morning about what I wanted #InternationalMensDay to be about instead of whatever fuck MRA organization said. MRA are harming all men by enforcing violence as a male trait to be proud. Fuck that shit.
