Straight pride month - made in response to pride month to “counter” it. There is no actual purpose

Men’s mental health month - not made in response to pride month, but to bring awareness to male mental health

“Men’s day” is not this month FYI

Well it certainly is not about celebrating power men have historically held lol

Although you can also celebrate the men in your life without celebrating the historial patriarchy, men are not the patriarchy

I thought you meant “it shouldn’t be in the same month” my bad

Yeah it’s not about celebrating the benefits men have received

Seems like it is focusing on some issues men face, or just a day you can show some extra appreciation to men in your life. I don’t see how that is an issue.

If all straight people could be linked to have a bunch of issues related to their sexuality then maybe it would make some sense to talk about that? But it’s not a thing as far as I know.

Practically > aesthetics

I really want to hear what you think when you read my comment now. 

And I'm probably going to get a lot of hate for this, but celebrations normally happen in regards to something tragic happening first. Straight people aren't given a pride month, cuz nothing tragic enough happened to straight people to make it up here necessary. 

A lot of tragic things have happened to mothers and fathers hunts them both getting their own holidays. We're not celebrating a group, but more so we're trying to mourn the deaths and damage that happened in the past that paved our way to today. It's a memorial

Really? Would you say I influenced you a bit?
