Men want their own international day
08. mar. 2010 13.53 EnglishWomen have March 8th, the International Women's Day, and now, men want their own international day on November 19th, writes labour union newsletter Nyhedsbrevet 3F.
A group of men are tired of reading that men beat their wives and go to prostitutes. And they are likewise fed up with having to live up to the ideal of a six foot five alpha male with broad shoulders and muscle-rippling abs.
- We just want to put the spotlight on the everyday ordinary man, who lives a good and honest life, and contributes to society, says Martin Pavon, who is the group spokesman.
England, Italy, and the USA already have an international men's day.
