“D”H being rude and spiky because of international women’s day…

[ChampagneSuperNova00]

….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.

Richard Herring. He did great work for a long time, but now believes some men are women and some women are men.

This. It’s the same kind of inadequates who complain about women’s aid, refuges, male mental health crises etc. If they really cared they could set up their own refuges for male victims, put the volunteer work in to getting them established etc. like women had to, but they won’t because the whingeing is the whole point. They don’t give a monkey’s toss about male victims, male mental health or any of that. They just hate women.

I think this is a sign to spend IWD 2026 as a single woman. Your husband is a bellend.

I didn’t know there was one. Not sure whether to tell him or let him find out for himself…

I don’t think he’s actually bothered about men’s day it’s just bitterness about the women’s one

What a prince

Shame they don’t advertise that when dating. To be fair he’s not normally too bad but obviously this is deep rooted bitterness….so weird and deeply unattractive

What an absolute knob. Exactly how does IWD affect him at all?

You don’t say! 😆

Aw, bless his poor, fragile little ego!

Every day is Mem's day. When women are no longer being murdered, abused and harassed by men maybe we can stop having a day of our own.

Man here. On a scale of things to get huffy about, IWD is below zero. He sounds a bit weird, tbh. What difference is it to him. Poor lad. 🙄

2 daughters too, so I’ve been promoting women’s rights a bit more over the past few years because obviously he should want the best for them and they are both feminists.

Generally he agrees with me, but as a bee in his bonnet about it today, so I’m wondering if this is his actual view

Pretty sure my husband has never heard of international women’s day (nor had I until this thread).

Anyway, he’s being a twit.

Yes, exactly. The only time men give a shit about international men’s day is on international women’s day.

Two daughters. Fuck. Normally even the stupidest men get it when they have daughters.

Marked annually on March 8th, IWD is one of the most important days of the year to:

• celebrate women's achievements
• educate and awareness raise about women's equality
• call for positive change advancing women
• lobby for accelerated gender parity
• fundraise for women focussed charities

(from the IWD website)

Ask him which of these items in particular the he's against OP. It will reveal the issues that your daughter's are going to face in the future related to how their own father thinks about them.

I always keep this handy this time of year...

I’d say it IS his actual view.

I mean who decides to start an argument with theyr partner about something says partner has no control over?
Unless you want to make a point.

He is telling you loud and clear he has an issue with you promoting ‘feminist’ views. He knows he can’t tell you that when you speak to your dds. So he is going side ways instead.

Yes this, also men who gripe about "it's not fair" really are dull and insecure.

Ok, I feel like I need help. Maybe this is a US v. UK thing, but IWD is just something people post about on social media here, mostly. Is it a bigger deal there? This is at least the third thread I've seen about it, and I'm not getting the consternation among the men. Also, can these men not Google?

Pathetic.

It's SO UNFAIR. Women getting a Whole Day for them. What about us menbabies? 364 days are not enough for us. We should have them all. What have women ever done for us? They want everything. Signed, Andrew and the other Tate, Jordan Petersen, Laurence Fox and all the other bitter and twisted men who have been so sadly let down by us mothers, sisters and daughters.

How can you find such a shit man loveable? 🤢 I'm repulsed just reading about him.
Does he demonstrate misogyny to your daughters?
