So when is International Men"s Day?


Jess Philips v Philip Davies on International Men’s Day

Every year on International Women"s Day Twitter fills up with angry men annoyed that there is no International Men"s Day.

However there is a flaw in their argument: that there is one. It"s on 19 November and has been for years.

Comedian Richard Herring has been VERY busy on Twitter pointing this out.

He"s responding to every tweet he can find on the matter - and gently, factually putting them right.

It looks like it"s going to be a busy day....
