I don't believe any identity group needs a day because can come across as trite and patronizing. Golden Rule, gratitude, and go forth.

- me_me_me 6y agoIt can be used as an easy PR move to shine a spotlight on some group specific issues, like prostate cancer or breast cancer or etc. It doesn't have to be negative 'we demand stuff for our group' day.
- binarycodedhex 6y agoYes. Two things might be conflated: innate attribute (ie, biological gender) and awareness (ie, type of cancer). A mother's day#, aunt's day, or a men's day seems to subtly poke at how a group is taken for granted; that doesn't mean they need a day or special help. I get every PR means can help as part of a holistic strategy for awareness. # Maybe mostly commercial inventions.
