It's annoying to have to wonder whether whoever started men's health month did it just to be all "but what about this other issue?" and intentionally move attention away from pride. Issues of men's rights and health are extremely important to me, and I hate how often they're brought up in bad faith by misogynists and other hateful people.

Totally bad faith. Mental health awareness month is May. It's non-gendered but it's been May since 1949.

Source: NAMI. The National Alliance on Mental Health. I support them financially.

If you want to make men's health a whole month, it's probably not a good idea to make it completely overlap with another prominent health-themed month. Not that June is any better.

It's inevitable though, there are so many issues and only twelve months.
