“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.

Because of thousands of years of things being men-focused? He sounds like a twatwaffle.

🤦‍♀️

This was my thought…

Unlikely to be an isolated incident. Thick and sexist. How attractive!

When you tell him about International Men's Day is on the 19th November also remind him that on the 20th November is Equal Pay Day

Equal Pay Day is the day in November when women effectively start working for free for the rest of the year due to the gender pay gap.

Thinking that there shouldn't be an IWD, for whatever reason, is one thing. But being pissed because 'men don’t get a day' when they do, and a split second's worth of Googling would tell them as much, is just fucking embarrassing.

So there were no signs at all? He's just turned into a misogynist overnight?

Some of them can mask for an astonishing length of time. A lot of women report significant changes in their partner’s attitudes when children come along, for instance.

Let me guess…he’s an Andrew Tate fan.

I just asked DH what he thinks of International Women’s Day.
He said it’s a good thing and he wishes women were running the world right now.

They never are.

They literally do, in November. He's obviously so enraged he's done no research. What a knob

This.
Total ick. Couldn't be around it.

How does this actually make you feel OP? My DH wouldn't give a rats ass about any of this let alone get irritated by it.

Is he accessing Andrew Tate style shizz?

I often wonder if these types ever realise that their mother was a woman and without her he wouldn't exist.

😆😆😆!!!

It comes out when he feels wronged or hard done by….

Sometimes if he feels criticised or if he feels he is having to do jobs when no one else is, or if he’s tired and can’t be bothered doing something involving effort

It rears its head sporadically and we manage it by laughing at him and pointing out how ridiculous he is being or ignoring him and continuing with our own stuff. A few hours later, or a day later he is generally back to ok.

yes it is pretty pathetic tbh, like a petulant child and is sort of inexcusable for a grown adult professional man

Generally day to day he is fine and not like this…

Men never had to assert themselves, they were men, that was it, they knew their place in the world. Women have had to fight to achieve anything, slso often worked twice as hard. That is why there is a Women's Day and not a 'Men's Day.

What a loser was my first thought too 🤣

Tell him there is an International Men's Day but men don't know about it because there aren't any women organising it for them.

Today I went to a mountain biking event for women. The first comment on social media was "when is the mens event" 🙄cue a load of likes from other men (who hate women) not having the awareness that every biking event ends up being male dominated and excluding women like me who wouldn't feel comfortable against a load of egos. Sigh.

What a melt he is.

They have head start and special treatment most days

They do. It’s 19th November. Tell him to organise a big party for all those international men out there!

Terrifying that men who hate women still find one to marry and have children with.

Apart from International Men's Day and Father's Day there is: St Patrick's Day, St Andrew's Day, St George's Day and St David's Day. As well as Easter and Christmas and Guy Fawkes, All celebrating men.
