so i missed it but international men's day was november 19th! so i hope you had a happy's men's day.
in today's climate, let's start focusing this day on:
supporting queer and trans guys and however they choose to express themselves
lowering suicide rates among men and boys
the disproportionate incarceration of black and brown men
normalizing men being feminine and/or gender non-conforming, regardless of sexual orientation
positive male role models who support feminism
normalizing eating disorders and body image issues among men and boys, and working to help guys struggling with it

how to celebrate international men's day (November 19th)
step 1: find any guy you have a good relationship with (if you don't have one consider spending today fixing that)
step 2: send him a pic that goes real hard. like you say "hell yeah" out loud when you see it hard. alternatively you can send vids of people throwing fruit, veggies or sheets of ice off high places and getting demolished.
step 3: attach a message like "I saw this and thought you might like it"
important: don't tell them you did this for a holiday. make it seem like you're thinking about them. in fact this post might make them feel suspicious on November 19th try a different time like right now or next week or something

Happy International Men's day!
You're welcome for all the inventions, and upholding of civilisation and discovery, women. Maybe consider nagging us less?

#Men's day
घर की जिम्मेदारी उठाते हैँ
रास्तो पर अकेले चल कर जाते हैँ
बेटी को परी बनाते हैँ
बहन को हर मुशीबत से बचाते हैँ
बीवी के हर नाज़ो नखरे उठाते हैँ
माँ के हाथ का बने खाने को जन्नत बताते हैँ
ये मर्द भी बड़े प्यार से सपने सजाते हैँ...
Ghar ki zimmedari uthate hai
Rasto pr akele chal kr jaate hai
Beti ko pari bnate hai
Bahan ko hr mushibat se bachaate hai
Biwi ke hr naazo nakhre uthaate hai
Maa ke haath ke bne khane ko jannat btaate hai
Ye Mard bhi bde pyaar se sapne sajaate hai..
- Krishna sharma (कृष्णा शर्मा )
Be lated happy Men's day🤍🤍❤️

✨ Men's day PSA ✨
by your friendly neighborhood transmasc men's lib activist ⁓
To the women, male feminists, gays, nonbinaries and transmascs who haven't gotten with the program yet:
If you want the rest of us (incl all trans & otherwise genderqueer ppl) to be free, cishet men need to be freed, because misandry and gender roles affect all of us, but they're the ones defining society's mainstream conception of what it is to be a Man™.
And cishet men can't do that by themselves, so they need your allyship!
Here's my old video on men's issues if you need a general intro to men's lib. Feel free to also check out my videos on men's studies and matriarchy, as well as the various things linked in their descriptions.
Here's some simple things you can do for the men in your life:
question your misandry & anti-men/-masculinity biases
ex. do you think it's fine to make fun of/be mean to men? how do you feel about your own masculine qualities? would you do/think the same thing to/about them if they were a woman/queer person? etc
meet men with kindness & give them the benefit of the doubt
men, like anyone else, are people and not a monolith, the vast majority of them are perfectly lovely and safe to interact with and don't deserve your prejudice, they deserve to be treated as well as anyone else & are usually used to being treated significantly worse
include them in stuff & teach them skills they traditionally don't get to participate in
there are plenty of matriarchal skills that are hecking useful & not available to a lot of cishet men the way they are to women and queer people, ex. make-up, hair/nails/skin care, fashion, sewing/knitting/crafting, or even just like base social skills/presentability
value them
ex. show that you want for them to be alive, healthy, and happy; compliment them/their looks; (where applicable) express your attraction to them incl what abt them you're attracted to; etc
support them in their own self-liberation efforts
ex. emotions/mental health/self-worth, fashion/self-care, parenting/home-making, etc
respect their current limits & comfort zone
ex. if they're not/not yet comfy w something more extremely out of their comfort zone, don't push it, as it might discourage them; understand that certain things don't come to them as easily (yet) as they do to you
remember intersectionality as with all things
ex. don't forget that plenty of men have marginalised identities (mental health, disability, class, race, queerness, etc) and therefore are not the Image of Privilege you may make Men™ out to be; don't invalidate/erase transmascs' & queer men's claim to female gender role things/femininity in order to validate their manhood/masculinity; be mindful of different issues & stereotypes affecting men of different ethnicities; etc

I love men. Not in a romantic way I just love them. I went to the grocery store and there was two guys walking around and one of them said very excitedly "LETS GET OREOS" and the other said very flatly "no" "WE CAN DIP THEM IN MILK" "no" I saw them later. They got their Oreos and milk. The excited one said "let's get hot cocoa!" I didn't get to see if they got their hot cocoa too. I hope they did. I know they don't know this, cause I didn't tell them, but I hope they know there are people in the world that love them. And I'm one of them.
Happy Men's Day
