There mustn't be a "day" for us, our celebration is all year long...

Wow. However, there's not much publicity for this.

Except today? (or including today?)

Yes.
It can be celebrated any evening, mostly weekends. Traditionally, men group in to a large room with decent seating capacity and a tap that provides a frothy heavenly liquid. There also exists a magical device that shows images of people playing a sport of local choice. Although, celebration comes with a curse. It is very effective. As soon a your phone rings or a message is received from a female, it is over for you. One has to pay price by either sleeping on couch or doing household chores or accompanying said female for shopping.

That would be sexist and in contravention of Human Rights and Equality legislation in most countries.

That's also my point. This one does not get as much publicity as the one yesterday. Had never heard of "International Men's Day" till yesterday.

I guess that's because most men don't feel the need to publicise it.

If I have the unencrypted version of a file, and encrypted version of the same file, is it possibly to determine the encryption scheme used to encrypt the file, and possibly even the encryption key?

If both files are the same length you can just go and assume a one time pad where
encryptedText = clearText XOR OneTimePad
so you can create the one time pad from encryptedText XOR clearText. That doesn't mean it really was a one time pad that was being used for encryption, but if both encrypted and clear text have the same length one can just create a one time pad from both.
Anyhow having clear text as well as the encrypted version allows for some crypt analysis.

It depends on the encryption method: the simple methods such as substitution cyphers are wide open to it (for Caesar cypher, you only need one character from the original!) and early PKZIP encryption was also susceptible.
Modern AES / DES based encryption methods are not open to such attacks,.

If the length of both files is the same there's a reasonable chance the file could have been encrypted using RC4 or Alleged RC4 as that guarantees the encrypted length will be the same as the unencrypted. I can't help with the key issue unfortunately.

During WW2 the boffins at Bletchley Park would arrange particular missions, such as laying mines in enemy harbours, because the knew that this would be reported back to Army/Navy headquarters using standard message templates. Knowing what you are looking for helps to reduce the work needed to decrypt.
They also intercepted enemy weather forecasts, which were encoded using a weather code book, then encrypted using Enigma machines. Using captured codebooks, this helped them crack the Navy 4-rotor Enigma, as the same forecast was transmitted to lower security establishments such as shipyards using a standard 3 rotor systeme, while the U-boats got it in 4 rotor format. The 3-rotor encryption could be broken on a daily basis, and knowing what thety were looking for in a 4 rotor message certainly helped in the breaking of that.
