We have days for LGBTQ, women, and minorities because they are historically disenfranchised groups still dealing with societally systemic problems oriented against them. That is not true of white heterosexual men.
It'd be like trying to organize a day for people from multimillionaire families. It doesn't make any sense.
I see where you’re coming from but I’m not sure comparing to millionaire families is apt - but I’ve seen plenty of things organized for low-income, rural, and 1st gen students which all include white heterosexual men, and if the census is to be believed, are the majority in some areas. I’ve also seen things for specific nationalities at my university like German, Italian, etc - groups traditionally considered “white.”
I haven’t seen anything specifically for the broad encompassing group of white heterosexual men. Personally I think such a group would be meaningless as white heterosexual men encompass too many things. What would such a group even use as the mode of maintaining solidarity that wouldn’t be better served by a more specific group?

No one even tries to defend these claims any more, they just try to get anyone who disagrees fired, expelled, or removed from social media platforms.
For example, the entire context for this discussion is the sever under representation of men on college campuses. So how can you say systemic issues never negatively impact men?
Also, it is very rare that those days ever identify specific systemic issues, with empirical evidence demonstrating them, with specific policy proposals to address them, with opportunity for debating whether those policies will actually work or have unintended negative consequences. It's pretty much exclusively moral posturing.
