International Men’s Day – by Don Mathis The time is now, the time is right, for the human race to unite   for the formal celebration endorsed by United Nations.  ‘Our Children, Our Future’ is the theme to dedicate November 19. We dialog on fatherhood to benefit the common good. We promote good examples of men, working stiffs just making a living. We share the trials of being male, the sacrifice that this entails. We laud all men’s contributions to our nation’s institutions. We see fragility of men’s health, how they put others before self. In times of war and times of peace, we concede their vulnerabilities. We know that misandry exists and we stand guard in men's defense,   for there is much male prejudice in today’s social services. Sexism against men ensues in family courts and public schools.   So we advance gender relations and oppose sex discrimination. We all want a society where each can reach their capacity. Please stop, reflect and remember,  this third Friday in November, as we acclaim men’s altruism and hail their humanitarianism. Here's the heart of what I want to say, Happy International Men’s Day!
