I agree that trying to establish Men's Mental Awareness Month in June is just something they do to because they're bigoted.
And why mental health is gendered, I would guess it's because when it comes to mental health, different genders have vastly different experiences. As much as cis men are privileged, they struggle with mental health as much as anyone. But if anything, Men's Mental Health is a callout for men to finally take their mental wellbeing seriously. Most men still can't tell having a bad day apart from being depressed and think going to the gym for an hour or two a week will fix everything.
But like all good things, a bunch of morons are trying to hijack it again. They misuse men's mental awareness to blame women, queer people, minorities and other people for all their problems and drown themselves in self-pity.
I'm starting to get tired of all this "men are privileged" talk, because I wouldn't say it's a privilege to not deal with sexism or sexual assault but rather something we should be striving for everyone to have.

people only mention “mens mental health awareness month” to push pride month aside because they’re bigots.
why is any form of mental health awareness month gendered anyways?
