The health and education editor of the student newspaper at one of Canada’s most prestigious universities has advised the world that Movember — the month-long pledge by men to grow hair above the upper lip to support men’s health awareness — is “sexist, racist, transphobic, and misinformed.”
In his 1,120-word essay in The McGill Daily, Ralph Haddad calls “the idea of suggesting that men show solidarity with each other by growing moustaches” to raise awareness about prostate cancer and other issues “completely absurd.” What an asshat.

Oh how dare we men find a cause to support of our own. Just another example of men (especially white middle class men) being openly demonized.

He should turn in his man-card, since he obviously is lacking in the "hang down" department and is upset that he cannot experience the sheer bliss of menstruating. No beard here (work thing), but I have seen people go through prostate cancer. Why in the f_ck would you decry something that is trying to raise awareness?

Some people (e.g. a certain Canadian professor) have entirely too much time on their hands.
