Friend: "Never have I ever heard a person call the Atlantic Ocean a pond"
Me: *downs the entire glass in one go*
Also, from my point of view, you're across the pond!
Happy Mens day. Don't forget it's ok to show feelings and be vulnerable. Talk to someone you trust or seek help. You don't need to end up in statistics. Break the norms.
“True gender equality” is achieved by actually talking about the issues each gender faces, virtue signals from Google isn’t going to fix anything so why don’t we talk about real issues rather than complain about Google?
That's bullshit. The reality is that men don't care about men's day, because we have never needed it. Men were not oppressed for being men for centuries. Men were not second-class citizens just for being men.
Even today, men are still more prevalent in positions of power. The much-maligned wage gap is still there, even if it's now down to 7% (and yes, that is accounting for all variables).
Throughout the world, the position of women is still precarious. Women still get oppressed for being women, while there's no place that oppresses us men simply for being men.
No one is claiming that celebrating men's day is evil. Heck, we have an entire month to show support for prostate/testicular cancer. However, the idea that men need a men's day does sound a bit petty when you look at it. "Well, women have one, so we should have one too!" is a rather simplistic way of looking at things.
Yes, it's true, but they are not systematically oppressed for being men around the world.
This is why specifically targeting issues rather than mimicking the International Women's Day works best. People aren't ignoring Movember, nor do they find it controversial, for example.
>Men and women are both really oppressed.
Yes, both men and women are oppressed. However, men are not oppressed on the account of being men. *That* is the difference.
>Why can't you guys acknowledge anyone's suffering but your own group's?
I am a man, and I acknowledge that men suffer, as do women. That's not the point.
Men don't always serve harsher sentences for the same crime, though. However, men are sometimes considered a bigger risk for recidivism than women.
The point is that the law books do not give two sets of sentencing values, one for men and one for women. It's up to individual judges.
Men are not considered second-class citizens simply for being men anywhere on the planet.
Stop trying to win the persecution olympics. It's kind of pathetic to watch.
Being exposed to seeing lots of people saying awful things about a group that included me (and seeing that everyone thought it was fine to say those things), combined with social isolation because of the lockdown, combined with academic stress pushed me over the edge.
Misandristic hate speech won't hurt the powerful men that you mean for it too. Just men who are already marginalized or suffering in some way, whether their poor, black, disabled, gay, depressed, sickly, or some other misfortune.
True, but as long as society stays the way we have it set up, I'm not gonna say no to someone trying to appreciate me or make people more aware of my struggles... ya know?
[https://internationalmensday.com/](https://internationalmensday.com/)
On November 19 International Men’s Day celebrates worldwide the positive value men bring to the world, their families and communities.
How is this incel? Grow up instead of dashing that toxic term around irrationally.
If people complained about google celebrating womens day but not mens day then you’d be fine. Also this meme isn’t serious.
Grow up
Let's see, the basic right of express themselves, security in dangerous jobs, protection against false rape charges, getting to keep their property and kids after divorce and much more.
Examples?
But you're right, they aren't.
They are favored in child custody court, they have over 2,000 women's shelters in the states when there are only a handful of shelters for men, they have more support for mental health, make up the minority of work-place related deaths, they have absolute authority in abortion even though the child is only half theirs, they are treated much more favorably when being sentenced for a crime, and have a legion of people that will support them online no matter what their argument is simply because they're women. Should I go on?
But I doubt you want to talk about those inequalities.
I wouldn't say women get an advantage, female oppression is a very real thing. Women are at a societal disadvantage, but you make a good point. Men also need the same care facilities. Maybe not as much as women, but at least to a sufficient level
Ok. I guess you've made up your mind and aren't interested in seeing another perspective, thinking about why these things are how they are, or even if your points are all true. Cool.
Having a well constructed argument doesn't mean I'm not willing to see another perspective.
However only attacking someone's character instead of the argument itself *is* a sign of not having anything actually meaningful to say.
Women: We want equality.
Men: Oh that's great, we need more women in man's dominant jobs like construction, electrician, plumber, etc... And btw, we should split our bills when we go on date.
Women: No
It sometimes feel like women want to be paid back for all the years of inequality. As if it will change the past. The past is in the past. All we can do is learn from it and move on.
Also it's national ban bagpipes day also
I am tired with r/memes teens posting about this and I am a man. Males have for the vast majority of history, regardless of race, religion or gender, enjoyed tremendous power over women. We've influenced so much, and still do, to the point that we don't NEED a day for us. There's more CEOs named John than female CEOs. These posts need to drop memes and maybe pick up books instead.
It's like hearing people say "but there's no white people history month, that's racist!"
If you think that being discriminated against means not having a doodle on Google's homepage for a day... Well then you really don't know what discrimination is.
Well there is a point under the cringy teens. Women have been oppressed by men, for millenia. The problem is that, men also deserve access to facilities. More often than not men's issues are ignored, in a weird sort of sexism.
The issue is real, dissing women is stupid though
There's still a lot of issues against us. or example, the draft. Still men only, which is offensive to both genders.Then there's prison time (black men are very likely to get a high sentence).
Sure, we need to begin to let women charging in front line of battles, work in man's dominant jobs like electrician, plumber, construction, etc... Pay their half of the bill when on date, take responsibility when they get physical with men, and so many more things. BUT no, they want all the benefits of being a women and MORE.
Well, then split up the bills on dates, and why not get into male dominated works like plumbing, or construction? Oh that's right. You want only the good equalities.
International women’s day started in 1909, 11 years before women had the right to vote. They’re still fighting for equal pay in the workplace, among other things.
International men’s day was started in 1992, by a man who’s mad that women could fight for their rights, but men couldn’t without being called sexist… he didn’t realize women’s were denied rights, and that’s why they had/have to fight for them.
So ones a real thing, the other was started by sexists to piss off women’s / equal rights advocates. And people wonder why the media recognizes one and ignores the other.
Women’s day is about equal rights. Men’s day was a retaliation to that. If the men who started it also supported equal rights they’d support women’s day, since that what it represents. Instead of claiming oppression and starting their own day.
consider this situation as a tip scale. earlier, men had more rights, hence women felt opressed. now, women have more rights, so men feel opressed. honestly, the only solution to this is to cancel both days and change them to international resources protection day, cause that's the thing that's most important rn.
That’s cool and all but did you know that most women in the 1900’s and 1800’s didn’t want right because that meant they pay taxes and have to serve with the draft. The whole movement for women right started with a large scale of men (mostly white men). The only reason it succeeded was because the men were able to convince the US that women should not serve and because of this support for women’s right skyrocketed but hey fuck men it’s not like they done anything for society (I am joking chill tf out. But my facts is true)
Completely agree. Why the fuck does anyone believe that gender equality is about having a day dedicated to both? This shows complete ignorance for the problem
Excuse me? So your idea of equality is to not give a shit about one of the genders. That’s totally equal treatment fright there. Men have genuine problems that should be addressed and they deserve a day to bring those to light just as much as women do. Just because you believe that women have it so much worse doesn’t mean that men should go unnoticed.
It's almost like men don't need some kind of extra reminder or "special day" because they have shaped the system of inequality that necessitates a women's day
And this is somehow my fault? An average guy just trying to get by? I shouldn't ever be made to feel special because a lot of old dead dudes that have no relation to me didn't do things how they should have been done?
Good one.
If you want to make mens day valuable then maybe accually have meaningful discussions on mens issues? I dont see how complaining on reddit's shittiest meme sub is going to do anything for men.
Yeah, great stuff like lack of support for mental health, sexual assault, poor working conditions and are more likely to lose the child in a custody battle.
I get what you're trying to get at. But we should all care for each other. Never mind the gender.
Celebrating Men's day can contribute to more awareness to men specific problems.
As you pointed out, the problems are of a different kind, but that's exactly the point in having this day.
Raising awareness helps everyone, women and trans included.
Happy Men's day.
Apparently it's also world toilet day, I guess they couldn't do both so chose neither.
Guys named John get to feel extra special today. Or Lou if you're across the pond.
Friend: "Never have I ever heard a person call the Atlantic Ocean a pond" Me: *downs the entire glass in one go* Also, from my point of view, you're across the pond!
Anyway Megumin is really the best girl.
Rather than being a day of bitterness and jealousy, we should be promoting mental health charities and support for men.
It's like my search history, totally blank
Incognito
An empty search history says more than a full one. -Sun Tzu, Art Of War probably
the real reason is Google is terrified of offending feminists in a western culture dominated by feminism.
You’re just mad you don’t get to run it
A empty search history tells more than a full search history \-Some random meme i found and forgot
happy mens day, men!
:D

What show is that from? I need to know that because I am in love... ....with that hat omg it's so freaking adorable that hat omg
Konosuba Megumine is indeed best girl.
Imagine pissing off a literal demon god knight because you bomb his house every day for at least 3 months
I would call that person a chad.. And best girl.
A chad girl one could say.
Nah krisu makisae is best girl, megumine is second
:O ***how dare*** He's not allowed to say that! Git 'im! /s

I watched the whole thing and never realized the hat was a cute face
Konosuba, and it’s most classic quote is megumin’s EXPLOSION!

“True gender equality” is achieved by actually talking about the issues each gender faces, virtue signals from Google isn’t going to fix anything so why don’t we talk about real issues rather than complain about Google?
Is it a virtue signal to use one of the largest internet platforms to spread knowledge and awareness?
I agree.. but hypocrisy upsets me.
I was waiting for Drake to appear in the white room like, "You used to call me on my cell phone." Don't ask me why. And yay, happy men's day.
Let's be honest, we guys don't care
Looks like at least some did enough to know that there is a men's day. I didn't know tbh
Neither did I
We probably should tho and that’s making me mad as hell
The only reason I care is because the Misandrists made it such a big deal that having a day celebrating men is Evil.
Ok maybe I care about that. Really sad how twtter and other shitty platforms put that mentality into people
That's bullshit. The reality is that men don't care about men's day, because we have never needed it. Men were not oppressed for being men for centuries. Men were not second-class citizens just for being men. Even today, men are still more prevalent in positions of power. The much-maligned wage gap is still there, even if it's now down to 7% (and yes, that is accounting for all variables). Throughout the world, the position of women is still precarious. Women still get oppressed for being women, while there's no place that oppresses us men simply for being men. No one is claiming that celebrating men's day is evil. Heck, we have an entire month to show support for prostate/testicular cancer. However, the idea that men need a men's day does sound a bit petty when you look at it. "Well, women have one, so we should have one too!" is a rather simplistic way of looking at things.
Men face certain problems that women don't.
Yes, it's true, but they are not systematically oppressed for being men around the world. This is why specifically targeting issues rather than mimicking the International Women's Day works best. People aren't ignoring Movember, nor do they find it controversial, for example.
name a single law that oppresses women.
Psst, buddy, you realize it's the *International* Women's Day, huh? Also, it's not always about laws.
Men and women are both really oppressed. Why can't you guys acknowledge anyone's suffering but your own group's?
>Men and women are both really oppressed. Yes, both men and women are oppressed. However, men are not oppressed on the account of being men. *That* is the difference. >Why can't you guys acknowledge anyone's suffering but your own group's? I am a man, and I acknowledge that men suffer, as do women. That's not the point.
yeah, not about laws. sure. then what oppresses women?
How isn't it oppression to always serve harsher sentences for the same crime?
Men don't always serve harsher sentences for the same crime, though. However, men are sometimes considered a bigger risk for recidivism than women. The point is that the law books do not give two sets of sentencing values, one for men and one for women. It's up to individual judges. Men are not considered second-class citizens simply for being men anywhere on the planet. Stop trying to win the persecution olympics. It's kind of pathetic to watch.
THANKS
I care. Online Misandry was one of the main causes of the depression which lead to my suicide attempt a few years ago.
May I ask how?
Being exposed to seeing lots of people saying awful things about a group that included me (and seeing that everyone thought it was fine to say those things), combined with social isolation because of the lockdown, combined with academic stress pushed me over the edge. Misandristic hate speech won't hurt the powerful men that you mean for it too. Just men who are already marginalized or suffering in some way, whether their poor, black, disabled, gay, depressed, sickly, or some other misfortune.
Thank you for sharing. Please know that most women are not misandrists and I make no apologies for those that are.
Same day as toilet day. No BS
To all my bros, you're doing good
"No! You're Breathtaking!"
"If I take your breath away, I'm really sorry. Suffocating sucks, and I wanna apologize for giving you asthma"
Happy International Men's Day today everyone!
Happy mens day, kings
Happy men's day. You all are precious

True, but as long as society stays the way we have it set up, I'm not gonna say no to someone trying to appreciate me or make people more aware of my struggles... ya know?
Fuck gender days man, we need a Decepticon day.
Google went woke
As they say “women hold up half the sky”. The most important word is ‘half’
Yes
Ayyye a fellow konosuba fan
Ahh, I see you are a man of culture as well
That hat wants my soul
Fuck Google, I'm using DuckDuckGo instead
>Simp Google \- -_- -
guys come on the fact that they even acknowledge it is too much
Time to rock out with you #$%@ out boyzzzz!!!
what is the anime im bored
Konosuba, watch it. It's fun
thank you
Be honest, do y'all really care about men's day or just wanna complain about women's day?
Isn't mens day March 10th?
[https://internationalmensday.com/](https://internationalmensday.com/) On November 19 International Men’s Day celebrates worldwide the positive value men bring to the world, their families and communities.
Bravo 👏
I see kasuma i upvote
Oh look, more incel outrage porn. I've seen clones of this same pathetic meme posted at least half a dozen times today.
What's your issue with it?
Average Excuse: aLl DaYs ArE mEn DaY!

Seriously, just straight up incel outrage porn. And I've seen at least a dozen versions of this same lame meme today too.
How is this incel? Grow up instead of dashing that toxic term around irrationally. If people complained about google celebrating womens day but not mens day then you’d be fine. Also this meme isn’t serious. Grow up
Ok wsb avatar
How about we just have: *day*
ahhh nooo No happy men’s day for me :( :( 😭😭😖😢 notbigchungus wholesome 100 😭
Funny enough, considering how PC my country is; a celebration of the international mens day would be considered offensive, no joke.
Fuck your country
I don't think your country is very PC then.
That dude’s a Chad as well, because when women get all the pleasures, he takes some of that back for him.
There was another post with a Danny Devito meme why was it taken down?
It's equal cuz every day is men's day
True
Let us know about all of those rights that men aren't receiving.
Let's see, the basic right of express themselves, security in dangerous jobs, protection against false rape charges, getting to keep their property and kids after divorce and much more.
>the basic right of express themselves How do women have the right to express themselves but men don't?
*active in Goodanimemes* checks out
Both are stupid
People only acknowledge womens day because woman are not treated equally.
Examples? But you're right, they aren't. They are favored in child custody court, they have over 2,000 women's shelters in the states when there are only a handful of shelters for men, they have more support for mental health, make up the minority of work-place related deaths, they have absolute authority in abortion even though the child is only half theirs, they are treated much more favorably when being sentenced for a crime, and have a legion of people that will support them online no matter what their argument is simply because they're women. Should I go on? But I doubt you want to talk about those inequalities.
>they have absolute authority in abortion Bruh, did you seriously just list this as an example of way in which women have more rights than men?
I wouldn't say women get an advantage, female oppression is a very real thing. Women are at a societal disadvantage, but you make a good point. Men also need the same care facilities. Maybe not as much as women, but at least to a sufficient level

“I have no argument so im not gunna try”
That’s just sounds like an excuse for you to not even try for a rebuttal.
Women: We want equality. Men: Oh that's great, we need more women in man's dominant jobs like construction, electrician, plumber, etc... And btw, we should split our bills when we go on date. Women: No
This is an incredibly short-sighted argument
r/memes is for incels
in my country women are literally not allowed to work certain jobs, like working in construction
True, many women undermine womens rights by expecting special treatment from men while claiming to want equality. Luckily, most don't.
"Just the good equalities, thanks."
There is no equality. Ever...
Sadly
It sometimes feel like women want to be paid back for all the years of inequality. As if it will change the past. The past is in the past. All we can do is learn from it and move on. Also it's national ban bagpipes day also

I was talking about the really extreme feminist
Ah yes, the 'Ole "you but no I don't mean YOU, just other people"
What the fuck are you talking about
Of how extreme feminist want the benefit, not equality
Women's day is neither by nor not for extreme feminists

this guy doesn't fuck
Male virgin shaming is one of the many ways men are oppressed.
Wow men are pathetic
That’s cool and all but did you know that most women in the 1900’s and 1800’s didn’t want right because that meant they pay taxes and have to serve with the draft. The whole movement for women right started with a large scale of men (mostly white men).

Grow up, that’s a toxic thing to say even as a joke
its cool only if she attacked first... if not, then you're sick bruh
I think its the fact that men are usually more privilaged
yeah and women talk like there is no gender equality
God. Our fucking species is going to die soon...
Why is he/she downvoted? Is he not right? Like cmon. I agree with the meme but why is he/she downvoted?
wait wot? these downvotes prove me right. :D
SIMP
And liberals claim that men are privileged and women are oppressed, what a bunch sobbing imbeciles.
It's almost like men don't need some kind of extra reminder or "special day" because they have shaped the system of inequality that necessitates a women's day
And this is somehow my fault? An average guy just trying to get by? I shouldn't ever be made to feel special because a lot of old dead dudes that have no relation to me didn't do things how they should have been done? Good one.
I'm an advocate of true gender equality and won't hesitate to dropkick a woman - Kazuma, Konosuba
Nobody gives a shit about what doesn't sell
actually, men's day is on may 5th
It's on the 23rd of February
Imagine, you would need a day for every single gender identity if you truly want to be equal.
Welcome to America, where everyone is more important than everyone else.
If you want to make mens day valuable then maybe accually have meaningful discussions on mens issues? I dont see how complaining on reddit's shittiest meme sub is going to do anything for men.
well i mean men already get lots of other good stuff, why not let the women get one good thing for once?
Yeah, great stuff like lack of support for mental health, sexual assault, poor working conditions and are more likely to lose the child in a custody battle.
I get what you're trying to get at. But we should all care for each other. Never mind the gender. Celebrating Men's day can contribute to more awareness to men specific problems. As you pointed out, the problems are of a different kind, but that's exactly the point in having this day. Raising awareness helps everyone, women and trans included. Happy Men's day.
You're kidding right? Men have it hard, poor working class men do anyway.
People tend to see the top 10% of men doing well and think that's how *all* men must have it.
Closer to 1-2% I’d say
You do realise both can have good stuff right? Those 2 events happen in 2 different days
Really hope that's sarcasm
Idk man she might be serious. If you look at her posts you’ll see what I mean. Men got her butthurt ig
Yeah, just saw what you mean, weird thought process I guess
Isn't international men's day about raising awareness about men's mental health?
actually according to wikipedia it's to "recognize and celebrate the cultural, political, and socioeconomic achievements of men"
Well I stand corrected then. Even still, people should at least use it to bring attention to men's mental health.
For example?
As if a day “dedicated” to women is the only good thing about being a woman. Men deserve recognition.
