Hi everyone, I hope you’re all well.
So, as I mentioned in my last video, November 19 th was International Men’s
Day; a day to celebrate the achievements of men, and raise
awareness for issues that disproportionately affect them.
Now, the reason I am bringing it up again is because I noticed something very
encouraging.
International Men’s Day over the last couple of years has been
treated with at best, ridicule, and at worst, outright malice and
hostility.
Feminists were very keen to depict it as a stupid day
designed to be anti-women, because why should men have their
own day when they are the nasty evil oppressor class, etc etc.
Also, nobody seemed to know about it in previous
years, whereas everyone knows about International Women’s
Day.
However, this year the tone was very different.
There was significantly less hostility and spite coming
from feminists, and also there seemed to be more official recognition
of the day.
Twitter even had a moment dedicated to the day, which is
highly irregular behaviour for the hyper left-wing juggernaut
that is big tech.
And the hashtag was full of positive comments about men and
masculinity; people all over the world were thanking all the good
blokes in their lives for the work they do and the sacrifices they
make.
Still no Google doodle, but, hopefully soon!
Now as someone who focusses very heavily on modern feminist
dogma and the anti-male narrative they spin, I am thrilled by this
change in tone.
It’s much nicer for everyone, and proves we are
making some sort of progress in shifting the public discussion.
Very cool!
But be warned, there were definitely a few feminists out there who
tried to hijack the day, and use it as an excuse to dunk on men and
masculinity, but all under the guise of caring about men
It takes courage and character to hang on to your humanity when
the qualities society rewards in men and boys boil down to being a
bully and a dick.
Choosing to question toxic masculinity-with no road
map, knowing that you won’t be rewarded for it- is brave
#InternationalMensDay
Happy #InternationalMensDay to the small handful of good men I'm
lucky enough to know; who don't bitch about
#InternationalWomensDay; understand the ways patriarchy fucks us
all; & reject the fallacy of conventional masculinity in favour of
kindness, compassion, & communication
Happy International Men’s Day!
Shout out to the men who are doing their best to dismantle the patriarchy that
oppresses them
