My #Movember Post -- Thanks, Just For Men! #MoBro2013 Posted by Unknown on 11/23/2013 16 comments

Movember is a charity that allows men to be ridiculous/hipster/cool/pathetic/awesome for a month, while raising money for men's health research and awareness. Men's health--whether physical or mental health--can often go unnoticed, undetected, and untreated. It's a cliche that men don't like to talk about their problems, whether these problems are physical or mental, but unfortunately, we are cliches.

We have panic attacks? We're depressed? We have loss of energy? Naaa... Real men have no problem. Testicular cancer is something that happens to other people, and don't even dare mention men suffering from breast cancer!

Unfortunately, that's who we are, to a large extent, which is why Movember, as silly as it seems at first, is so important. We have to make this issue visible, and we have to be done with the cliche, and tell ourselves that doctors, mental health workers, and willing friends are not our enemies, and that real men, with mustache or without, care about their health.
