March 1st marked the beginning of Women’s History Month, an official recognition of women’s contributions to civilization, culture, and humanity throughout history. I commend lawmakers for establishing Women’s History Month in 1987. Women, after all, are chronically under-represented in textbooks, and women’s achievements are often ignored or minimized by historians. Having March officially designated as Women’s History Month puts a focus on women’s overshadowed role throughout history, and forces many to recognize that women drove a large portion of technology and culture. The existence of Women’s History Month begs the question that if Women’s History Month exists, shouldn’t we also have a Men’s History Month? After all, isn’t equality the driving force of the progressive movement?
By stating that “I don’t think there should be an International Women’s Day if there’s not an International Men’s Day, too” is like saying, “I don’t believe in Black History Month without a White History Month to balance it out.” There is no need for balance. The imbalance is the point.
Literally every month is already Men’s History Month. Men have controlled every aspect of civilization for thousands of years, and they are celebrated constantly. Almost every historical holiday focuses on men: Columbus Day, MLK Jr. Day, President’s Day, St. Patrick’s Day. The default is thinking of men as important historical figures.
Nothing about Women’s History Month diminishes men. The fact that men feel upset about celebrating important women simply underscores the male-focused nature of our society. We can’t even talk about celebrating women without some guy grunting, “Yeah, but what about us?”
To the fellas saying that men deserve some time just for them, remind those men that of International Men’s Day! IMD is an annual international event celebrated every year on 19 November; the month of November is also occasionally recognized as International Men’s Month. Jerome Teelucksingh chose November 19th to honor his father’s birthday and also to celebrate how in 1989, Trinidad and Tobago’s football team united the country with their endeavors of qualifying for the World Cup. Teelucksingh has promoted International Men’s Day as a day where all issues affecting men and boys can be addressed. IMD strives to gain “gender equality and patiently attempts to remove the negative images and the stigma associated with men in our society.” The aim of International Men’s Day is generally to celebrate positive male role models and to raise awareness of men’s issues, including topics such as mental health, toxic masculinity, and the prevalence of male suicide.
Weird flex, but okay.
Stfup with this BS and disrespect of men. Keep playing a victim.. it’s pathetic.
Sounds like you’re the pathetic one, upset about a simple and inoffensive article from 4 years ago. Lol
Let’s not forget THE super pivotal moment we can all thank a woman for, the fall of humanity. Thanks to Eve being disobedient after being told NOT to eat from the tree of the “knowledge of good and evil”, humanity fell from grace. Thank you Eve!!!
u mad
Why have a month for a group of people that have contributed the least to society? Easy… we pity you. Men don’t need a month because without us no one would be alive. Every month is for men, like it should be
Every month ISNT for men. THEY have been recognized more THATS why ONLY women get a month. Y’all don’t even deserve a mental month god sake.
are u mad
i think we can find more than one pathetic person here
Men fought and created the USA. Not women. Men fought and died in both world wars. Not women. Men fought in said wars for the world or their country. Not for men. Massive differences how Men fight for the world and women only push for equality but stop at the selective service. Mlk day is about 1 man. Columbus day is about 1 man. No holiday represents Men. Presidents day is about presidents. We ever get a competent women to be president then it us still presidents day and your argument that it’s a man’s day dies. Celebrating a single man isn’t celebrating all Men where as women’s month celebrates all women wether they did anything special or not. Which it’s not because most historically prominent women simply did something already done just as a woman instead. Go die in a world war then come back to your month.
What the hell are you even yapping about. Why are women fighting what a MAN created. Men started the stereotypes, sexism, etc. Bc of that people can’t even vote a women president. Why always have been recognized and never got discriminated when leading because they’re a man. Yet you guys want a whole month after CENTURIES of women fighting for recognition. Women are the ones getting pregnancy, periods, less rights, pay gap, etc. “let’s make men be more known!”
ever heard of norah vincent? a radical feminist man hating cunt like you…. lived as a man for a year and experienced a small fraction of what its like.
she killed herself 6 months later.

also, go fuck yourself you ignorant bitch.
Women are trash honestly….I’m glad they lost the right to abort
have never heard more true words
Men are disgusting creatures, they need to loose every right they have.
amen to that, this ticked me off
This post is biased. This can be found in paragraph three. Also, where are your indents for each new paragraph?
It’s called equality , not bias
@Ang lmfao thats a joke!! Equality!?! Women don’t want equality. They want domination! They won’t be happy until they have done every single thing they “think” a man did to them. They don’t want to be equal. They want to be the dominating ones. Its blatantly obvious. Everything they say is hippocritical. Take anything they preach and switch the sexes and they would hit the roof if men did the same things! Lol everyone sees through this charade except for modern militant feminists.
why do women support the Democrat party? The Democrat party is responsible for the woke movement and the transgender movement which is diminishing women’s rights.
Women’s rights to compete with women only have been taken away, women’s right to have their own locker rooms, showers, and bathrooms have been taken away. All of this has been done by the Democrat Party. I just do not believe women at that stupid. I may be incorrect in my thinking. (I do have 4 daughters and 2 granddaughters. None of them agree with the woke agenda. I guess they are with the few SMART WOMEN in this country.
lol that is so true tho.
What the fk is wrong with you? MEN GOT DOMINATION FOR YEARS. WE FINALLY GET A MONTH TO BE FKING RECOGNIZED BUT LIKE ALWAYS MEN WANT THE ONLY THING WE FKING HAVE. WOMEN LITERALLY STILL HAVE LESS RIGHTS TO THIS DAY. Yet men should get a month, bc they started wars and took away rights, male privilege.
its all good. women will destroy civilization and then blame men. gg.
You draft dodging isn’t equality.
hello
Women are so useless
Men are the useless ones all they do is complain
Men are the useless ones all they do is complain
To everyone saying this article isnt offensive “Weird flex, but okay.” after the article saying something about male issues yeah this was definetly wrote by a feminist stay strong bois
Yeah stay strong don’t fall for their tricks
how dare you there wouldn’t be humans without women you can’t have children in your body and also historically women cooked clean ’cause men were “Too busy to do either”
@Corynebact and you can’t have children in your body unless we put it there… and what would you rather do, cook and clean or die at war? Also women wouldn’t be a thing without men bc god took Adam’s rib to make eve.
MEN LITERALLY STARTED THE WARS? BUT LIKE ALWAYS YOU GUYS WANT US TO FIGHT YOUR PROBLEMS FUKING USLESS HOS. THEY WILL NEVER GET A MONTH, BC OF WHAT THEY DID TO WOMEN ETC.
Also I hate that stereotype “cook or clean” wdym all y’all bitches do is sit at home and play video games.
We’d be in the garden of eden without women. You can’t create life without men. Your point is very poor
yeah. busy keeping their women and children alive. christ this world is demented…
For the feminist one you sound kind of messed up saying presidents day is a day focused on men. What happend to women being presidents? and what do you mean by the response “Weird flex but okay?” to when you said the prevalance of mens suicide. Listen im not an adult but I know how hard people have been on men now, because men expected to do all the work. When we make a woman or make a girl to pay they pull the card “Wow, what happend men being the bigger person” and shit like that but girls are complaining about how girls are seen as the bigger person in all of history. You dont realize how fucking dumb that sounds. Being a men sucks, if I look at a girl im seen as a fucking for doing absolutely nothing, the media nowadays is fucked up. You all talk about “gender equality” but what you really mean is women supremecy, you people are fucking idiots never post another article again especially if you’re getting packed by a college student online, go suck a big fat dick
Good let’s get more men to suicide! Less danger, SA, domestic violence to women. “Gender equality” is something that ONLY women struggled on. They had a less percentage of getting a leadership job and pay. WOMEN will always be oppressed STOP with this bullshit.
my god you are an absolutely awful person. shame on you.
My god you are stupid. You talk about equality but then quite literally expose yourself by saying “there’s no need for balance”. You’ve just admitted what you want isn’t equality. Not to mention your blatant hypocrisy and disrespect for mens issues. You talk about everyday being about men and for men and other bullshit so do tell how men getting higher sentences for the same crime than women is about men? Do tell why majority of courts favor mothers in custody? I could go on and on but clearly you won’t respond with an actual answer. I hope karma comes to bite you, and that you have the day you deserve misandrist.

Wow. So, I’ve read the above. Wow! Wow! So I’ve learned in history. In history….That the men worked and women were home with raising their children and taking care of the house. Again, That’s history. We can’t change that happened. Things change and Women have evolved and gone off in the work force. Women worked putting airplanes together while men were at war.
If you are just celebrating Women’s History Month. That is not equal to International Meal “Day 11/19. That’s a power trip right there.
I understand what the article said above that most of the the holidays reflect men. That is where and how it all started. We just have to bring to the front what women did. Fair is fair. But if we keep segregating adding all these diverse holidays. When are we all going to come together as one?
Either we have fair ness or we are all going to coming up with holiday that segregate us all.
Why have a month for a group of people that have contributed the least to society? Easy… we pity you. Men don’t need a month because without us no one would be alive. Every month is for men, like it should be
Because they get recognized more? The men in here are fucking weird bitches that should hang.
Lol the men in these comment are sensitive.. this post was just an opinionated. Yet men always wanna get mad. You guys don’t get a month because of the past.. talking about wars, who started them? This world would be peaceful without men.
this world would crumble and turn to dust without men.
