One comedian has nailed the best way to hit back at righteous men using International Women’s Day to complain their own struggles are not recognised enough.

Remember remember the 19th of November, meninists, trolls and basic cocks. I see no reason, why celebrating geezers should ever be forgot.

Every year, Richard Herring uses March 8 to rebut the whinging of people who complain - wrongly - that there is no International Men’s Day.

(It’s on November 19th, but don’t worry, you’ll read that a lot.)

Hundreds of men are tweeting their frustration to hijack a day dedicated to combatting sexism against women.

If you want to compile a list of Twitter's biggest bellends,looking for anyone who tweets "When is International Men's Day" is a good start

Herring scouts out these people, and helpfully reminds them that International Men’s Day does exist.

International woman's days can suck camel dicks why don't men get a international men's days 🖕🏽 #sexistfeministcows

He spends all day coming up with witty retorts and outting those who haven’t bothered to perform a simple Google.

International women's day? When is international men's day? Equal rights and that

— Daniel Nancarrow (@Nanks1109) March 8, 2017

.@Nanks1109 November 19th. Still waiting for White History Month though. Equal rights and all that.

— Richard K Herring (@Herring1967) March 8, 2017

And he provides some catchy rhymes too:

Baby Man, Baby Man, does whatever a baby can. Gets to huffing, over nothing, tweets away, about today. Oh yeah, here comes the baby man.

— Richard K Herring (@Herring1967) March 8, 2017

In fact, he’s really got it in for the Baby Men.

Baby Men, you got one of your guys in as President of the USA. You can shut up about International Men's Day now.

— Richard K Herring (@Herring1967) March 8, 2017

Is there an International Babies' Day? cos a lot of men seem to think it's today.

— Richard K Herring (@Herring1967) March 8, 2017

And of course he couldn’t miss this open goal.

Just to preempt you @realDonaldTrump, it's November 19th
