How sexist of me. I didn't realise men needed an additional "day" for themselves. Apart from the other 364, minus one for women.
Mea culpa. Happy Happy.

@ranjona Actually, I'm surprised how a lot of the messages I'm reading on Men's day are about embracing vulnerability and not being overly manly men.

If it's all about that, I'm all for Men's day.

Unmanly Men's Day?
Show threadMagic MarblesNov 19, 2019
@ranjona @Memeghnad unfortunately, the origins of International Men's Day is from the #NotAllMen mindset. But if we can reclaim it as a day to discuss how men are often ridiculed for speaking up about their own abuse, or access to mental healthcare, or space for opening up emotionally, I'd say this would be a good day.

+100 to that. I had posted about it on my blog a few times -

@Memeghnad @ranjona I have never seen any man celebrating Men's day or it being celebrated in any company/ organization. This day is just to tease men. 😁

Most co/orgs are celebrating it this year, but it is mostly lip service, just another day! I don't think most of them are interested in the deeper ramifications of the day.. @anupverma @Memeghnad @ranjona

True. They've mostly interested in the advertising opportunity.

@Memeghnad agree. Same here. This morning I considered wading into this and tweeting about male survivors of rape & how patriarchy affects men, & how men need to reject and resist patriarchy @ranjona

As a victim of patriarchy from childhood, where the 'manly' kids were always considered to be the best, I get where you're coming from.
