This is BS. There's a diff between a man and a woman plain and simple. If I wanted to be a woman, I'd grow breasts and have my penis and sac cut off and made into a vagina. Therefore, I strongly suggest that those men who are SJW take this route.....bunch of pansies.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~

For about a decade, men across the globe have forgone shaving in November to raise awareness about men’s health issues, from prostate cancer to male suicide.

The tradition had a good run, but now, suddenly, No-Shave November (also known as Movember) is apparently problematic.

Social-justice warriors worldwide have rushed to point out how the month-long event, regardless of its good intentions, is too gendered. In a nearly unintelligible sentence published by Sydney’s Daily Telegraph this month, one critic wrote: “It’s disappointing that what could’ve served as a much-needed dialogue about the many ways in which men, trans men included, can express their masculinity without resorting to chauvinist caricatures is in danger of devolving into at best a pissing contest between bros about who can grow the most facial hair to prove their manliness and at worst an implicit endorsement of 1950s-style gender norms, complete with transphobia.”

Sounds like a tempest in a teapot, to me.

Never even heard of 'No Shave November'.

BTW, I haven't shaved my legs or underarms for more than 30 years. Guess I was a founding 'mother' of the movement!

LOL

One article & suddenly you believe it's under attack? Give me a break. I haven't heard anyone attacking Movember.

I agree. I only found the OP's article regarding the subject. A couple feminists with a twitter account don't worry me.

Perennial poutrage by the sensitive buttercups of the Mano-sphere is easily provoked, I guess.

Didn't the OP mean under attack by someone, and not necessarily a group? That's the way I read it.

I can't take these liberal loons seriously. They're beyond ridiculous.

One article and a small cabal of angry internet warriors does not mean a thing that hardly officially even exists is under attack.
