International Men’s day

Hi kalav What will they have to celebrate about? I think it is too early

To all the women out there I share this joyous day today, a day specially dedicated to us to commemorate our day as Eve's descendants. I wasn't even aware that there exist a day to honor the women of this world. Naturally, when there is women's day, it is only fair to also have a Men's Day.

LOL, I had forgotten both of these holidays. Hurray for both men and women. There is a children's day, too, is there not? How about grandparents day?

hello dear, I am not aware of "men's day" as well. Maybe we are just focusing on womens...hehehe (kidding) But,it's good to know,like how "mother's day " being celebrated,so with "father's day" It's just fair to have "international men's day "

Hi kalav: I like the idea of men's day because mens have been opressed by their own stereotypes like for example "men don't cry" "men have to bee strong" "men are competitive", etc. If we want to talk about equality- even if it's an idealistic concept- it's not good to just talk about women issues. We have to know ourselves better, as men and women to improve our relationships and the way we define feminity and masculinity. ALVARO

Only 3 types of days interest me, and I suppose neither international men nor women's day excite me at all. The first is Christmas. The second is Good Friday. The third is other public holidays. Easter Sunday is not a holiday, but it is also a rest day. I wasn't aware of international men's day. Now that I know, thanks, but it will be just another day for me, if I am alive. Kalva, nice research by the way. Thanks and cheers.

It is very interesting to learn that there is an International Men's Day. It sounds like a joke because as a matter of fact men already rule the world. I love China

This is far tooooooo funny! I was just in the midst of sending "Women's Day" cards to the women in my life that I honor, and good friends, and the thought crossed my mind...Is there an International Men's Day...and there you are with my answer! A gold mine of info..you areDang...and today is Fat Tuesday tooooo...sure hope there is no correlation!Take care...and Cheers!

I became aware of it after reading this: http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/2498368.aspx?p=1#1_14667659 Never too late to learn and myLot is a ine of information

I did not know there was an International Men's day. First heard about this through this discussion. I hope we do rememeber to wish them on that day. Or may be we should ask the men to remind us

Thanks for the information Kala as I was not aware of it.I've gone through this p and was written that its celebrated in India also along with various other countries...but never heard about its celebration here in India.

wow cool. who knew. but then i never wondered or even concidered such because men have so much on their sides to celebrate already i mean if they want something, they usually see its gotten.

I just know "International men's day" after I read this discussion and see the site. This year, I will celebrate this festival with my husband.

we definitely need an International Men's Day!My female colleagues got 100 RMB Holiday allowance beside a half day holiday but men got nothing! Is it fair enough,i am afraid not!

Thank you! I wasn't aware of this. In fact, I was talking to one of my friends on Facebook on Women's Day and said I felt that I was sorry for the 'Men' who didn't have a special day of their own.

Ooh, I didnt know this bit of information. Well, I kinda guessed that there might be because it would be unfair if only the "Women" had a day to celebrate their woman-ness.LOL But I also didnt know the exact date. So, thanks for sharing this bit of trivia to us and also for providing the link. It is great to dedicate a day for the health, welfare, and existence of people and things in the world.^_^

International Men's day. Wow I was not aware of that. Yesterday all the radio channel was talking about Womens day 100 years, all the injustice women went thought all this years. equal rights, equal this equal that. Worst still, all of them says there is no such thing as a International men's day. Thanks for the info. This is something to be proud about as a MEN..... But looking at it it is sad that only a handful of country celebrate it and it is call International. What gives?

Do we really need to dedicate 'days' in the first place I wonder. Whose idea was it anyway to have this day and that day and whatever happens on those days service little or no purpose whatever the purpose is. I am not unduly excited about these 'days'

This is the first time listening about that there is a special day for men also. Happy to listen, Have to share fun.

Wow! its just here that I realized that there is one...cool!
