[ChocolateTeapot]

My job held a networking event for Women , run by 2 Male directors as the guest speakers. I passed on that. No thanks to being mansplained to on international womens day thank you

Do you work at one of my old jobs?! Tragic isn’t it.

I know perhaps totally unrelated topic but post BLM my older brothers work had an event on BLM with only an all white people panel
I said ew dont you think thats bad and he could not see the issue with it
This is a TOP advertising firm mind

There's always a man complaining "what about men?"

A male friend would post about IWD and then says that IMD is November 19

to be honest I don’t blame men for asking about IMD on IWD as the men’s day is far less celebrated than the women’s!

That's not the point though is it? it's about letting women have one bloody day that's not about men. He could have easily googled it.

Yes exactly ! why do men always do this when it comes to anything women. Its the same with domestic violence any campaign is always met with but what about men! You have your own campaign go away! if you're that bothered why don't you get involved in a mens domestic violence charity

Agreed! It's like the not all men thing. When the Sarah Everard case happened so many men were like 'yuhhh but we're not all like that'. Okay but some of you clearly bleeping are so why don't you focus on that instead of patting yourself on the back for not doing something you shouldn't be doing anyway!!

Every other day is man’s day, they barely even give women a thought. But fast enough to make IWD about them by asking when their day is

Isn't the whole Month of November dedicated to men's health also? Movember is definitely well celebrated everywhere.

I’m a bit late with this one but duck my life it pissed me off so much. All the little morons on social media saying “Happy International Womens Day” and sharing stupid quotes who do absolutely duck all to contribute towards anything which helps women to have equal rights. You could tell society it was International curd Day and the majority of them would post about it just for the sake of posting, the insincerity drives me insane!
