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?

@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.
