Hah! I just channelled my inner Richard Herring

I didn't even know I had an inner Richard Herring tbh.

DS (stroppy teen): Nobody cares about women's day.
Me : Women care, so that's at least half the population who do care
DS: There isn't even a men's day
Me (without even thinking): 17th November
DS: Really, but nothing happens then
Me: So organise something
Stroppy teen strops off to the Xbox

Brilliant

I mean, it's the 19th. That's probably why the 17th is quiet...

The 19th? Well, by November he'll have forgotten exactly what I said so I'll probably get away with it.

My default response now is “International Mens Day is every fucking day”

I love this. Something to smile at today, thank you!

Ha

Men aren't interested in international men's its only ever talked about in relation to not being fair cos women get one

OP you have a great chance here, as i and a bunch of friends used to do on 8th March and 19th November.

On 8th we used to tweet the whole IWD thing, and there were the inevitable "when is men's day" so we bookmarked the worst offenders. We always used to tweet resources and things for men's day anyway, so about a week before we contacted all the IWD pests and said "we're doing this next week, want to join in?"
and either got insults or crickets back. (one or two, to be fair, did join in when pushed)

And on men's day to the "wahh wahh wahh nobody does things for men's day" pointed out that a) we did (as women) and b) nobody was actually stopping them doing something for themselves.

It is satisfying, tbh
