University of York: celebrate international men's day!
University of York: celebrate international men's day!
The Issue
International Men's day is the 19th November. The University of York was meant to celebrate it, however they have had to cancel due to 200 people signing a petition against it.
It is important that we recognise men's day just as much as women's day. True feminists should be fighting for gender equality for both men and women. To cancel men's day is simply hypocritical. Equality is not just for women and should concern all genders. All feminists are being wrongly portrayed here which is simply unfair. We are not man-haters and the university should go ahead with plans to celebrate all diversity, not just one gender.
