International Men's Day and Why We Need to Advocate for Men
Posted: Sat Nov 19, 2022 8:39 pm
In case you didn't know, today is International Men's Day.
From the media, to adverts and other forms of entertainment, you'll hear them talk about how men and boys are awful. Examples include the Gillette ad from a few years back and the bumbling stupidity of many fathers and sons from many TV shows, relative to their female counterparts.
The anti-male sentiment continues on into many institutions, including the legal system and the education system in many, many countries.

This is because, as much as its advocates say otherwise,
Feminism doesn't help men. And is actually working against gender equality by supporting the
pro-female, anti-male laws and attitudes that are commonplace in our society.
And another (not-so shocking) fact is that when it comes to rape, sexual harassment and domestic violence, men don't get as much support as women do.
In Ireland, women have a 24/7 helpline available to them.
For men, it's only a helpline open 9/5, 5 days a week.
If we actually want to a achieve gender equality, we need to start advocating for men and boys.
