Can anyone tell me when National Boys & Men in Sports Day is?


The don't need one because for thousands of years, every day was boy's & men's everything day.

But you know this.

Some of you insist on being insufferable twats and pretending life is somehow especially hard for boys. Just stop. It's still a man's world.


I saw girls and women celebrated all over social media today. It’s odd that boys and men aren’t similarly celebrated. It’s almost as if they’re being marginalized.


Oh, grow up.

When you’re accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression.

Oh, you’re one of THOSE. Your next question is logically “When is White History Month?”

Sorry you aren’t very bright.

Sigh. We’re just trying to celebrate our sons. For once in their young lives, we’re trying to celebrate them. These kids weren’t the ones who made life miserable for women all those years ago. They just need something to help them feel good about being a boy. Why is this so hard for people?


Because this crisis for boys is manufactured and amplified by social media and it's a bunch of BS. It's backlash for women and girls asking to be treated with respect and for men and boys to be responsible for their behavior. If everyone just acted like a decent person we'd all be fine. But we have to have something to agonize about.


If you are not currently raising a son, then your thoughts on this matter not because you have no idea what's actually going on. I'm not on social media and I'm not sure why anyone thinks this is manufactured so those comments make no sense. I'm the mom of a (sensitive, kind) boy who absolutely was/is impacted by society and school focusing almost exclusively on women and girls - this happened daily in his elementary school. This is the same thing they did when I was in school, ie only focusing on the accomplishments and achievements of men. Why we chose as a society to not balance things out but rather just repeat the mistake in the other direction is beyond me. It's been disasterous in so many ways both academically and socially for many boys. No culture war. Just facts from people on the ground. [/quote

I’m raising multiple kids, including sons (plural), and I know that the Boys Are Victims And Everything Has Swung Too Far BS is indeed BS.

Stop being so sexist and ruining a positive, uplifting thread.

Start your own thread


There’s nothing uplifting about celebrating only boys for doing work that girls are also doing. Go back to the 1950s where you belong


Can you please start your own thread?

This is supposed to be a positive, uplifting thread.

Your repeated posting and hate for young men is ruining this thread.


DP, but no. You aren’t the thread police.

Thank you!

You get it.


You’re both ridiculous drama queens. And the “war on boys” is fiction.

You do realize that Adolescence is fictional, right?



The Netflix miniseries Adolescence has been made an official part of the schools curriculum in the U.K. by Sir Kier Starmer’s government.

You do realize that, correct?


The Outsiders was part of my school’s curriculum when I was young.

We didn’t divide into Greasers and Socs to rumble in the park.

Stay gold PP.

I don’t have boys but both of my daughters have consistently let me know how terrible boys are; especially from 6th onward.

Not one of the boys on my street did. However, I (a woman) asked some of the dads down the street with big equipment to help out the elderly folks who couldn't do it and they did.
