Unfortunately, there are “woman’s” who are far too selfish and negative, who become mothers and leave deep traces, sometimes unforgivable in the innocent soul of the child. — 4ever1friend
Probably to call attention to the fact that the status quo is "Man's Day" every day all year long except(?) "Woman's Day". A symbolic form a protest to prick the cultural conscience (and maybe even rattle some political cages around the globe) ... like "Black History Month" in the US (which is manifestly white history month every day).Why women's day? — 4ever1friend

On 8th March every year is International Women's Day.
This year the theme is: 'Choosing to Challenge'.
How many get to choose ? — Amity
Because every woman is a potential mother, — 4ever1friend
Ah, dinner table talks. Gotta love them. — Benkei
Why is April the first all fools day, when fools prattle on every day? — unenlightened
Yet White History month and Man's day aren't officially recognized days while the others are. You sound like someone that is simply angry at the world for spawning you in a environment where there happen to more people that have a different skin color than you. Considering that the US is mostly white, it is no surprise that most of the people recognized will be white. The same goes in China and Africa - the majority race will be the one that is recognized the most. It seems to me that you are trying to impose minority rule of the majority. Why do I get the feeling that if the roles were reversed and blacks were the predominant race in the US, that we would never get a White History month, or that if women ruled the world, would they allow a Man's Day?Probably to call attention to the fact that the status quo is "Man's Day" every day all year long except(?)

We celebrate the accomplishments of white people every day. Calls to celebrate whiteness ignore the institutionalized celebration of whiteness that’s built into the very fabric of our day-to-day lives, along with the more overt celebrations in every history textbook. — Daniel Hirschman in interview
if women ruled the world, would they allow a Man's Day? — Harry Hindu

When white nationalist and white supremacist movements call to celebrate whiteness, they claim or imply that white people are under threat from nonwhite people. That is a cover to justify white people’s monopoly on wealth, income, property values, prestige power, and other desirable things. So they are deeply invested in inventing a particular understanding of race and a particular understanding of history that supports their narrative of white people under siege. — As above
We should be talking more about whiteness. There was a recent controversy over a course being offered at the University of Wisconsin Madison on “The Problem of Whiteness.”
I looked over the syllabus — it’s a great example of how to think and teach about race by foregrounding whiteness rather than nonwhiteness. That is, when we talk and write about race, we almost automatically assume that race is something that African Americans and Latinxs and Asians and Native Americans have; white people are just people.
By foregrounding whiteness, we remind ourselves that race is a social construct that, for the most part, white people have used to assert or imply that white people are superior. — As above
That wasn't what I asked. I was asking a hypothetical question. If you aren't going to pay attention to what I actually said and respond to what I actually said, then don't bother responding at all. These racist tactics are tiresome. If women or blacks were the ones in power, would we have White History month?if women ruled the world, would they allow a Man's Day?
— Harry Hindu
There is already, as mentioned above. — Amity
Again, if blacks were in power and whites started celebrating White History, would the blacks feel like their power is threatenend?This is based on fear of losing power and control.
Having a Whiteness Day could inform rather than create further division.
