something the internet and society sees something that doesn't exists and is a joke

A cynical trend where the topic of Men's Mental Health Month, an important issue aimed at promoting mental health awareness among men, is intentionally utilized to invalidate or undermine the importance of Pride Month. This is often done by comparing the two inappropriately, suggesting that one is more significant than the other, or expressing that more attention should be given to Men's Mental Health Month, typically without showing genuine concern for men's mental health.
Dave: "Hey, have you noticed it's Pride Month everywhere, but no one even talks about Men's Mental Health Month?"
Rose: "Sounds like a classic case of Men's Mental Health Month-gatekeeping. You don't need to diminish the importance of one to highlight the other, you know."
