To be fair they're tying it up with getting men talking something we all need men to do, it's not a day of saying men are awesome for the sake of it.

I see only_"men "and not "prostate havers" mentioned in their Prostate Awareness section

I wonder if they will be allowed to promote this and celebrate it without being jumped on for excluding Trans men (as happens to women about trans women on IWD)?

I am going to predict that they will.

Do men exist? Women don't seem to

It's a good thing, no?

Unless IWD didn't happen or had to be centered around others?

If so, you can show the absence/template for IWD to them and so prove the discrepancy?

No problems with them celebrating IMD. I wonder though if they are allowed to actually use the word men?
Silly question I know.

Unless they refused to acknowledge IWD then I don’t understand the issue. They’ve got some decent sessions planned at least and not just two days of NAMALT
