'Imbeciles!' Online Users Riled by Men Stealing Women's Thunder With 1 Question

'Ok - so when is International Men's Day then ??' – a question that has triggered all kinds of reactions on social media on a day meant to celebrate women. From annoyance to actual direct responses pointing to November 19, online users are fuming the holiday is somehow "about reassuring men that they also have a day."

Observed on March 8, the International Women's Day is marked by promotion of women's rights, protests over gender discrimination, sexual harassment, domestic abuse and wage gaps. It is all about women and for some it just doesn't sit well. 

Social media users took to Twitter to voice their frustration.

With 'International Men's Day' trending on Twitter on March 8, female and not only users were left baffled.

It really is shit that every year, so much of #IWD2018 is about reassuring men that they also have a day. International Men's Day is literally trending. On International Women's Day.

Asking "when's International Men's Day?" on #IWD2018 is a bit like saying "when's my birthday?" instead of "happy birthday" to someone

To all the idiot men, in response to #IWD2018 asking when it's International Men's Day.

Officially, it's November 19th.

Unofficially, it's every other day of the year.

Husband: "When's International Men's Day?"
Son: "Actually there was one but a woman didn't put it on the calendar and we all forgot about it."
