Even if they had a day (which they do, it’s the various holidays for different European cultures) they’d still complain. Like how the only time people mention International Men’s Day is when they say why don’t we have one during International Women’s Day in February. But not in June, which is when International Men’s Day actually happens.

Damn, those search spikes are like clockwork. Could we harness cyclical outrage to generate power, like the tides?

Since when is it in June? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Men's_Day says it's on November 19th.

Are there two international men's days or why is there a spike in June?

The equivalent of MLK Day is Presidents’ Day. I’m not even sure what you mean by European holidays, Halloween? I would not consider Christian holidays like Easter or Christmas to be white holidays and can’t think of anything else that qualifies as “European”
