Do we really need an International Men's Day?

You probably don’t know it, but today - November 19th - is International Men’s Day.

For most men in the UK, the day will probably pass without much fanfare - nobody will buy you a card, or give you the day off work, or greet you with a cheery, “Hey, you’re a man, Happy International Men’s Day, mate!”

If you do hear anyone mention the day at all, then it’s likely that the words will be uttered with either weary bemusement; fake ”LMAO” hilarity or the utter contempt of "Isn't every day International Men's Day?"
