Women felt left out by Movember so a group of them have advocated for Decembeaver where they will not shave their nether regions to raise funds for cancer charity

I don't understand how this is offensive.. They are raising money for cancer, and raising awareness for the previous existing fundraiser for men. Sounds like a win-win to me..?

I suspect it's just attention grabbing by the Daily Fail

So? What's wrong with that? It's raising money for cancer charity and promoting acceptance of people's natural bodies. I like it for the same reasons I liked Movember/Novembeard (as a man bound by family tradition to have facial hair but feeling looked down on by fashion standards that look down on it). If /r/mensrights wants to improve its image, booing things like this probably doesn't help. Fortunately, most of the commenters here seem to support it.

I'm just going to shake my head and try to not think about it. Because this leaves me awfully conflicted.

What does this have to do with men's rights/men's issues?

Best of luck to them. I'm all for an arms race (october = breast cancer awareness month, movember = prostate, decembeaver = cancer in general, january = what, manuary?). Let's make every month some form of gendered cancer awareness. Because fuck cancer.

Well that's the most obvious attention whoring I've seen this week.

ick who would shave down there anyway? it's like the bristles on a hair brush growing out your coochie when it starts to grow back.
