It’s funny but I haven’t seen a single organisation devoted to men’s issues wishing a happy #InternationalMensDay to all ‘mxn and non-binary people’ or tweet about how to make man a more inclusive category. It’s almost as though people think inclusivity is women’s work...

I joke, but really there’s nothing funny about the fact that in 2020 we’re still doing ‘man as default human being, women/non-men as Other.’ It’s a pervasive form of misogyny as old as the hills.

I am glad that people are making the space to talk specifically about men’s mental health issues and men’s cancers on #InternationalMensDay. But I’m also frustrated that, when feminists talk specifically women’s issues on #InternationalWomensDay, it is increasingly problematised.

I saw an advert raising awareness of prostate cancer. It said that a man dies from it every 45 seconds, and men’s lives are worth saving. No quibbles or caveats re: defining men. And men’s health was rightly recognised as a legitimate concern. Why can’t we do the same for women?
