It'd help if those same men (and I say this as a cis guy) would stop bringing up men's issues only and exclusively as a whataboutism in response to women's/trans rights/issues.
If you cared about these issues so much, you wouldn't have weaponized them to this extent.
Mens mental health month exists but nobody gives a fuck, including men. This is because society isn't comfortable with men expressing vulnerability or weakness. Unlike women, men are expendable (have no inherent social value), so if they don't take accountability and step in line, no one will care. They have to be the stoic ones in society. This is the way it is, and most men have to accept it.
Calling what Reddit does a "celebration" for any of these is a stretch. Mostly rhey juat use it as another excuse to bitch about women. Men's Mental Health month isnt as bad as International Men's Day, probably because its a whole month, but i almost never see actual positive posts about either.
This is basically the crux of the problem, men aren't allowed to insinuate that any of the problems they face are perpetuated by women, because women can do no wrong.
