I dunno what "International Men's Day" even is
But today is a good day to remember that men have their own struggles
And that to understand a group of people you don't cherry pick those at the top of the hierarchy & assume they represent the rest

It's also a good moment to remember the 99% of men who are invisible to everyone
Those keeping society functioning
Those who died in wars
Those doing the dirty work nobody will ever even give them a pat on the back

It's also a good day to remember that guys have to become men
And that in this day & age, it is as hostile as ever, in a different way
The enemy is lack of purpose, lack of understanding the world they live in

And who can blame them
Bombarded every day with contradictory messages
"Men should be this"
"Men should be that"
All subject to everyone's personal narrative

Us men are beasts of burden
A life lived in sacrifice for others
Yet most guys who we don't consider men just want an opportunity of sacrifice
An opportunity to prove themselves

I check some hashtags & quote tweets regarding this "Internarional Mens Day" & most are bitter
Why should it be adversarial?
Why should the perceived "privilidge" of the small few at the top of the hierarchy cover the experiences & life of the common man?

It's not easy to talk about men's struggles
But maybe because it's difficult... it's the true "social justice" fight we should have?

These boys, guys & men people are bitter against are your:
- brothers
- friends
- cousins
- uncles
- granfathers
- fathers
You know, 49.9% of the world's population
Why the bitterness? Why the hate? Why the confrontational stances?
