    Men's Day
    Demand a International Men's Day!

    We absolutely do need a Men's Day. Why you may wonder? If you look at international women's day, they use that day to address all kinds of issues about women and also sadly spread myths, half truths. I read some of that in a newspaper.

    We not only need a international Men's Day in the sense of equality and that men are just as important, but also Men's Day would be a perfect day to inform populations and the world about Men's Rights issues. If Men's Day occurs after women's day then it could, among other things, be used to refute false statements made by feminists on Women's Day. So this is very important and would be a great boost, asset for Men's Rights Activism worldwide.


    This is a news article about Men's Day plans in China:

    Quote:
    Volunteers call for Men's Day on March 9

    BEIJING, March 9 -- While everybody was celebrating the annual International Women's Day on March 8, some volunteers from a psychological aid center in east China's Nanjing City proposed to make March 9 a "Men's Day," in a gesture of solidarity with the male population.

    They explain that the celebration on March 8 makes many men feel left out, especially when kids take out the presents they have prepared for their moms. Dads might feel embarrassed by such scenes. These volunteers believe that the celebrating of a men's festival will help to remedy the situation.

    They add that making a special festival for men and giving them more care could also benefit the family as a whole. This festival, they claim, could offer men a chance to rest and to work on their close relationships.

    Re: Men's Day, we must have a international Men's Day!

    This is a news article about Men's Day in Shanghai:

    Quote:
    Shanghai marks first Men's Day
    (Shanghai Daily)

    Updated: 2006-08-05 15:16

    Male employees at 50 multinational companies in Shanghai took time off work on Thursday to celebrate "Men's Day."

    The holiday was created three years ago by the editor-in-chief of the Chinese edition of Men's Health magazine, who goes by the nickname Shou Ma. He called for the day to be celebrated with a Men's Day party, which was held in Shanghai for the first time this year.

    Shou said he plans to promote the festival across the country. Shou picked August 3 (the third day of the eighth month) for Men's Day, as it is opposite of International Women's Day on March 8 (the eighth day of the third month).

    The local offices of Marlboro, BMW and Volkswagen, among other large companies, allowed their male employees to relax on Thursday. Male editors from Men's Health magazine were given the day off their regular duties, but had to spend the day preparing for the Men's Day party.

    "It was not my original intention to provide male employees a day-off," Shou said.

    "It is a day for men to release their stress," he added.

    Re: Men's Day, we must have a international Men's Day!

    I think a mens day would be awesome we could use it to celebrate just being men and show that manhood is ok and even desireable. Also we could put forth men's/father's and especially children's issues

    Everyone on this forum should sign this thing. Only 138 signatures (including mine!?) Uggghhh! Come on guys, lets set our mouse sites on the signature page, aim and fire! How can there be an International Women's day WITHOUT an International Men's day!? Only in a world of half-truths, lies and gender preference would such a thing even be possible. Get in there and sign this thing or I swear I'll annoy the hell out of you until you do.

    At the moment there are 152 signatures. I think the problem is that many people don't know that this petition exists. What's needed is a website for International Men's Day.
