2) Maybe men should also have a day for us men, at the end of the day, we can often have it worse than women – after all, the life expectancy of males are less than that of females, more men commit suicide than women, if I as a male in my 30s was to go to the doctor complaining of stomach pains and a woman in her 30s was to go the doctor complaining of stomach pains, she is much more likely to get more time spent on her whereas my pains would just be dismissed and not looked at unless they escalated – there are a lot less support network for us men out there, maybe it is time we started creating groups so that we can also get help when needed.
