International Men’s Day (as also Women’s Day) is considered to be gender focused. Without men, we don’t have a society appears to be functioning normally. Men have the authority to decide. Men should provide and be responsible for family, environment and life safety. All these qualities please ladies – they feel safe living with such men. But, ladies, it’s your turn now to encourage your men!  In 2013 the focus of Men’s Day is “Keeping Men Safe”. Reducing the violence, keeping safe from illness, promoting male role models – these aims are attainable. Just ladies’ love and concern can create a cozy and home-like atmosphere – and this is every man needs! So, our dear men, Happy International Men’s Day!
