….he doesn’t think it’s fair that men don’t get a day and I didn’t agree, so I am getting the silent treatment with a helping of grumpiness, bitterness and spikiness and lots of huffing….what on earth is this about?

I wouldn’t mind but I didn’t even mention it in the first place, he brought it up. Its like living with a huffy teen.

Men get every day and have done for millennia. He's a moron.

19th November tell him.

Please say no kids around

hilarious that IMD is also international toilet day! 😂

APATEKPHILLIPEWATCH · 08/03/2025 18:20

What a loser.

Also men do get a day. November 19th.

Imagine being huffy because the class you oppress has a day of recognition

Exactly. Not only is he a "insert whatever your favourite term for him is" @ChampagneSuperNova00 , he's an uninformed one. Misogyny over knowledge, what a catch.

This. I think men want women to do the admin of IMD for them. They can organise their own and I encourage them to.

outerspacepotato · 08/03/2025 18:21

He's giving you the silent treatment because of a holiday that has the word women in it?

Tell him shithead day is tomorrow and he'll get all the consideration and care he deserves.

An idiot said this at work yesterday. He was complaining that we had all been asked to put a poster up to celebrate. I told him it was in November and to go ahead and make posters to put up at the time.

CynicalSunni · 08/03/2025 18:22

International men's day is in November. Has different themes each year etc
Also i think peak googling for this day is on international womens day.

Lazyladydaisy · 08/03/2025 18:22

International men's day is in November. He sounds like a gem.

APATEKPHILLIPEWATCH · 08/03/2025 18:22

Has anyone seen if the November 19th guy on Twitter has been at it again? I can’t remember his name but I love his feed

It’s because they don’t really want their own day - they just don’t want women to have one.

Amanitacae · 08/03/2025 18:23

Richard Herring.

He doesn't do it anymore unfortunately - it was gold when he did.

pizzaHeart · 08/03/2025 18:23

I don’t know what it is about but it’s definitely not about International women day.
Generally I would advise you to ask him and try to understand what bothering him but not when he behaves in such an idiotic way,

Aw that’s a shame! It’s terrible that the highlight of my IWD was always tweets from a man 🤣🤣

None of the men he invited to celebrate/ organise never got back to him. 😂

You could buy him this book to help him celebrate shithead day OP?

Spoiler: he doesn’t care about a day for men (it’s in November), he just hates women.

Keiththecatwithamagichat · 08/03/2025 18:25

Was he also part of the "all lives matter" brigade? And questions why there is no straight pride?

If so, dump him.

So funny! He also raised money for Refuge as well I think with it

NeelyOHara1 · 08/03/2025 18:26

On a sidenote, I'm not liking this constant pitting of women versus men. Time for some collaboration type focus, I feel?

Theeyeballsinthesky · 08/03/2025 18:26

Sorry OP you seem to have married a misogynistic twat
