1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,280
Speaker 1: Every year when it's International Women's Day, men good old,

2
00:00:03,440 --> 00:00:07,120
Speaker 1: they get all up in arms and all wom's Men's Day. Well,

3
00:00:07,320 --> 00:00:10,400
Speaker 1: there is an International Men's Day and it is today.

4
00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:12,760
Speaker 2: Today. It's all about us men.

5
00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:17,400
Speaker 3: Men, men, men, men, men, men, men, men's men.

6
00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:18,959
Speaker 2: Just try not to be like Charlie.

7
00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:24,520
Speaker 1: I wasn't sure it was the exact Drive representation, but

8
00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:27,640
Speaker 1: I thought, what the hell is such a cute theme. Yes,

9
00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:30,160
Speaker 1: and it's calmed down. I've just been going since nineteen

10
00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:34,600
Speaker 1: ninety nine. So the theme of this year's International Men's

11
00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:37,640
Speaker 1: Day is supporting men and boys. One of the key

12
00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:39,839
Speaker 1: aims of International Men's Day is to highlight some of

13
00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:42,360
Speaker 1: the social issues that men and boys face, from boys

14
00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:46,240
Speaker 1: struggling at school to men struggling with their mental health.

15
00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:48,760
Speaker 1: I have felt a bit sorry for a while for men.

16
00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:51,120
Speaker 1: I don't know if they're coming or going. They grew up,

17
00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:54,240
Speaker 1: you know, like men of my age. Yes, our age,

18
00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:58,520
Speaker 1: our age a rage, you know, our parents grew up

19
00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:04,920
Speaker 1: in a very certain, very specific, very specific way. And

20
00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:09,479
Speaker 1: now those suns everything. They don't know whether to open

21
00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:11,680
Speaker 1: the door because it's polite, or whether they'll get their

22
00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:14,760
Speaker 1: head bitten off, or what's going on, so I understand

23
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:17,800
Speaker 1: why men struggle.

24
00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:19,720
Speaker 2: And they get confused. And you know, there's all the

25
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:23,880
Speaker 2: talk of toxic masculinity, whether it is or not.

26
00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:30,959
Speaker 1: Toxic masculinity or the patriarch just like phrase.

27
00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:34,520
Speaker 3: You know, But the majority of you know, they you know,

28
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:36,880
Speaker 3: the integral parts of a family and society, and they're

29
00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:41,280
Speaker 3: providing good, strong male mole rod role models which you

30
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:41,920
Speaker 3: need to have.

31
00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:44,440
Speaker 1: And most of you are still pretty good blokes.

32
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:48,720
Speaker 2: Do you think.

33
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:53,960
Speaker 1: I do once you look past the toxic masculinity patriot?

34
00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:57,120
Speaker 1: But no, no, no, no, no, I'm joking. It is it is.

35
00:01:56,960 --> 00:01:59,080
Speaker 1: It is a tough man, tough time to be a man,

36
00:01:59,160 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 1: what with your white.

37
00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:03,920
Speaker 2: Prey throw that into the mix as well.

38
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:06,760
Speaker 1: So many cash criss to be upset about. So anyway,

39
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:09,919
Speaker 1: this year the Men's Day folk are encouraging communities across

40
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 1: Australia to celebrate and elevate those making a positive impact,

41
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 1: whether it's local men's groups, mentors or role models. That's

42
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:19,919
Speaker 1: recognize the people and initiatives that are truly supporting men

43
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:22,240
Speaker 1: and boys. And as I say, let's just remember that

44
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:26,320
Speaker 1: for the most part you're still okay. There are a few,

45
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:31,720
Speaker 1: definitely you're still there are some men out there that

46
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:34,360
Speaker 1: are terrible. There are some women out there that are terrible.

00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:38,320
Speaker 1: For the most part, you're okay to have around.
