'International Men's Day' is today - did you know?
Discussion
It's the same day every year, November 19th, yet receives hardly any mention while other commemorative days are splashed all over social media, TV, local and national newspapers to show solidarity with the day's cause.

It would be interesting to know where the fault lies for the perceived lack of publicity for International Men's Day. Three companies share between them ownership of circa 90% of the UK's print media. Two of those have male CEOs. The BBC currently have a female chair, but they have, today published stories about International Men's Day on their website. The other results, when using Google News, come from BQ Prime, the Times of India and the Lancashire Evening Post (female editor but owned by National World, which has a male CEO).
The last hit for 'International Men's Day' on Sky News (male head of news) brings up a three year old story from the sport pages.
ITV (female CEO) ran 'Loose Men' feature, related to Men's Day, two days ago.
Channel 4 (female CEO) and GB News (male CEO) appear not to have reported on the matter at all.
Men: you are in prime position to promote your own event. You've only got yourselves to blame if you cannot be bothered.

Was just saying to about this day when I seen it on here and no one in my house knew about it. Womens day is always promoted and any other day. I work for the nhs and receive countless emails about every occasion and how they’ll promote it etc. Not had one for this though. Then again men aren’t in favour at the nhs. Big push on women to join and will get favoured over men. Yet we’re the ones who have to train them. ( Maintenance side of nhs not nursing etc )

I suspect it’s not ‘fault’ so much as men in general being totally uninterested in some stupid day that means/changes absolutely nothing?The last hit for 'International Men's Day' on Sky News (male head of news) brings up a three year old story from the sport pages.

It’s about time us men got one day to raise awareness about our downtrodden sex, rather than the other 364 days of the year when we only get to run and own just about everything in the world.
What about the men that aren't running the world so probably 99.99999% of them.TX.

TX.
Spot on, I would say your average woman is more valued in society than the 99.999999% of men who are not running the world and are largely anonymous to everyone.TX.
They are already trying to eliminate us from the media by pushing the message that everyone in society is trans, gay or in a mixed race relationship. Just think how often a white, middle aged man is portrayed in an advert other than as an object of ridicule.
Plus as a man there is nobody to bail you out and provide a house and financial support to allow you to stay at home all day.
I say damn right we need an International Men's Day, it is just a shame that the media want to keep it quiet.
Suicide rates are much higher in men than in woman and women don't get sent to fight in wars.

This is a parody, right??? They are already trying to eliminate us from the media by pushing the message that everyone in society is trans, gay or in a mixed race relationship. Just think how often a white, middle aged man is portrayed in an advert other than as an object of ridicule.
