Men's World Day
Men's World Day is celebrated on the 3rd of November annually. It was conceived by author George Kindel
and inaugurated in November 2000. A central motivation for Kindel was
his understanding that "the testosterone influenced brain of men" is the
main reason for men's violent nature, and why he also believed that
women would never be capable of violence and brutality.
Due to the male propensity for violence Kindel proposed that Men's
World Day not be conceived as a day to celebrate men but rather a day of
introspection and self-criticism.
He also wanted to show that there are some males who have had a
positive, nonviolent influence on our world and to award them as role
models.
Mikhail Gorbachev
offered to act as co-founder and president of the event after an
invitation by Kindel who had described it to him as a 'men's health'
initiative.
Men's World Day consists primarily of a world awards event to
recognise and honour men who exemplify the best attributes of mankind.
Men recognized and awarded at this event include Michael Douglas, Morgan
Freeman, Plácido Domingo, Christopher Reeve, the Bee Gees, Yusuf Islam
aka Cat Stevens, Sir Paul McCartney, Sir Richard Branson, Steven
Spielberg, Luciano Pavarotti, Christian Barnard and Ted Turner.
Men's World Day has been promoted as a
world event. It was recognized by the United Nations in Vienna and by
the Gorbachev Foundation
who jointly organized the annual event for four years.

ReplyDeleteYes, there is such a holiday! Thanks to Mikhail Gorbachev the world community began to celebrate the World Men's Day on the first Saturday of November.
ReplyDeleteThe initiative of the former Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev was supported by the Vienna Magistrate, UN office in Vienna and a number of other international organizations. As gifts on this day men expect primarily women's attention. And, obviously, original congratulations on this not too formal, but enjoyable holiday.
But there is more - soon the men will celebrate again: there is also the International Men's Day, celebrated annually on November 19. This holiday was first celebrated 19 November, 1999 in the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago, and since then it has been celebrated in the USA, Great Britain, Jamaica, Australia, India, Singapore, Malta and South Africa.
So, women, congatulate your men! It is known that a good and timely congradulation of a man is the best investment in the 8th of March!
