Is it? I've never felt bashed for being a man and I've never felt that i am at a disadvantage for being male. In fact, life is pretty good to be a man and nothing to complain about.
It can be hurtful when I walk past building sites and I'm not whistled at though.
Think you and I are a long way apart . Again you’ve failed to respond to my points , you’ve slotted in ‘disadvantaged’ I never said that at all . If you cannot discern from what I put as something recognisable or of value then you’ve had a very comfortable life of ignorance . If you’ve watched the MSM or listened to Radio in the day you might have spotted some real biases of gender recognition . I know women were ‘excluded’ from many roles such as the media for eons , that was a cultural and societal issue based on traditional roles right or wrong . That’s being redressed now and I’m sure will settle down to some norm . My point was there is mass recognition of Intl Women’s Day but v little will said about the men’s day . I wanted to highlight the empathy and sympathy I have for working and retired crippled men who society ignore . Poor last comment tho , trite and unnecessary especially as you appear to have no idea what I’m saying and so drag it down to a single poor comment . I’ve never said I’m at a disadvantage as a man but nobody gives a f*** about the physical damage so many men endure to put food on the table, but give you roads , power , buildings to live in .
One of the benefits of having 'gynecomastia'(side effect of prostate drugs),is you can wobble your wobbly bits and attract some male attention....Maybe show a bit more leg?
International womens day is to recognise the fight for equality and liberation of women in society, spring. We have never suffered gender inequality or been trapped in society due to our gender - I'm sure as an older gent, you didn't stay at home for a couple of years and look after your babies.
Plenty give a **** about the physical damage caused to men and women working - there's a whole health and safety industry and unions and politicians campaigning for safer and healthier work environments - a lot of what has been mocked on here in the past.
You are without doubt correct that manual work causes long term physical injuries, but the majority of working western European men work at desks and have ****ed backs from sitting in front of a computer for 8 hours a day, driving home and sitting on the sofa in the evening. Not sure they need an international mans day to commemorate that.
My personal belief is that men and women who do lower paid manual work for an X number of years should get private healthcare covered by the companies that profited (maybe from a collective fund) and retire five years younger.
I agree with your last sentence...Progress at last.
First para - was I not trapped in society due to gender inequality because I couldn’t give birth therefore had to both ‘stay’ in long term work and take that ‘responsibility ‘ ? I had one choice. Not to marry the woman I loved and not to help conceive . Had my wife been a higher earner than me them financial necessity kicked in .
2nd para - I don’t know the figures but I doubt if the amount of keyboard workers outstrips the supply chain , drivers. , builders fabricators etc that are always needed . Those office workers don’t need a special day true
3rd para - excellent point
In a nutshell I know of no public or press publicised recognition for men accepting their role without appreciation .
During Covid a BBC radio article slaughtered men for’ rushing off ‘ back to work when it ended so they could avoid caring for the kids !
Obviously those discussing this were mainly professional women in London etc who probably forgot that their husband might be earning £100k and they were in lesser earning roles so it might be a financial decision. It was very negative narrative . The roofer behind me couldn’t offer to be a stay at home parent while his wife did her part time job at the school - so as I say he continues to batter his body regardless this is what I wanted people to ‘appreciate’
My age has nothing to with this argument although visiting Sheffield like Hull I see the ex miners , foundry , strip mill fellas limping around and that doesn’t count for the two of my wife’s uncles who died of work related lung cancer having worked in toxic environments .
Please done forget this or our fishermen and others .
