Pride month or mens mental health month?

I was talking with my guy friends and then they saw the pride flagg in the yard. I've been talking a bit about how some guys wants the flags down, but these guys were okey with it. Even tho they were okey with that. They weren't okey with how pride had "stolen" mens mental health month. I am not saying that mens mental health shouldn't be addressed, but I think it is weird that we should have a WHOLE month for a group who has put this system on themself and has never been illegal, hated or looked down at for being men as much as the queer people have been for being queer.

I think pride has every right to have a full month as it is still illegal to be gay in other countries and how in many countries you still can't marry the same sex. Putting men above pride when they are not illegal in any country just feels wrong. I dont think those guys realise how good they actually have it and it is still mens mental health month so I dont really understand what they are fussing about. I do understand that mens mental health month get a bit pushed away because of pride, but if they want it to be more talked about they have to actually talk about it and while doing that they do not need to put pride down.ย 

Also am i the only one who doesn't understand why they get a whole month because many of them doesn't reach out before its too late. I had a discussion with my class about this and all the boys thought us girls would laugh if they opened up to us. Something all the girls disagreed on, but still the boys were convinced we would laugh. I think the boys put too much pressure on each other when it comes to being tough. But I still don understand why that gets a whole month. Women dont have their own month and we dont even have rights in some countries. If I were to be born in Afghanistan I would have been married away by now and then belong to my husband. I think that is a much worse problem than boys being afraid to talk about problems.ย 

Im not saying boys dont deserve their problems to be seen. I just think they should rather get a week and that we can instead have a mental health month for everybody. Which we do have and it is in may. This blog was not meant to be hate on boys mental health btw, I just think that the reason we have it is because of a problem that shouldn't exist at all and it feels stupid for boys to still have a problem with talking about feelings and problems. Here I'm not saying that boys are stupid for having problems with talking, but that we shouldn't have that problem in 2026 btw.ย
