As the world takes the day to acknowledge the annual March 8th commemoration that International Women’s Day, one local men’s rights activist named Jaxson says he has chosen to boycott the date out in protest of the growing inequality faced by middle class Australian men.
“Yeah. Get back to me when there’s a Single Dad’s Day, or at least a Men’s Day” says the 26-year-old stay-at-home data entry professional, ignoring the fact that both those days do exist.
While looking at himself in the mirror and pre-Stan Eminem playing softly in the background, Jaxson says today is his Superbowl.
The theme for International Womenâs Day 2023 is’ #EmbraceEquity’ – calling on everyone to embrace equity and all of the good things that come with it. It’s a day aimed at celebrating women’s achievement, while also raise awareness about discrimination and entrenched gender based issues.
However, according to Jaxson, this kind of emphasis on empowering women is really only doing one thing: Creating a system that favours women in the regional Queensland courts and creates arguments that don’t align with his denial of the gender wage gap.
Despite not having kids or ever having had a girlfriend, Darren says he has gone so far down the rabbit hole that it’s almost like he knows exactly what it’s like to go through a complex custody battle.
“This is divisive” says the World Of Warcraft enthusiast.
“It’s creating a divide in society and tearing families a part. Even my stupid mum knows that”
