A rather depressing game for IWD

So I have read a few articles this morning regarding women, VAWG, womens mental health. It is after all IWD. 6 so far. 5 out of the six have had comments of What About Men, Men Suffer Too.
I'm now sucked into the depressing game of seeing how many comments it takes for someone to dump some whataboutery.

not for nothing is IWD also known as "but when it is international mens day?". I note on IMD women dont tend to turn up in comments saying "what about women?" "women suffer too"

On any article focusing on men I've not seen comments about women suffering too. Seriously why can women not have anything.

I'm struggling to find a piece on IWD that doesn't include transwomen. That's as depressing as it gets on IWD.

There's a piece in the Irish Times (Saturday) about Irish women and what's going on in their lives which includes a transwoman who has experienced no discrimination or issues as a woman (but has as a transperson). Find me a woman who can say the same?

We have so many days and weeks specific to trans people. Why is it not ok to have one single day which centres women?

I’m also fed up of the number of companies using IWD like a Black Friday promotion, they are seriously missing the point
