During the month of November, the streets are crowded with bearded and unshaven men. They proudly show off their facial hair (or lack of it) and I think they are enjoying the fact that they don't have to shave for a month and nobody is judging them because of that. But I also think that many of them don't know what Movember really stands for.
Meseca novembra se na cestah po svetu kar naenkrat pojavi ogromno bradatih, neobritih moških. Ponosno razkazujejo svoje bolj ali manj goste in dolge dlake in po mojem mnenju kar uživajo, ker se jim cel mesec ni treba obriti in jih zato nihče ne obsoja. Mislim pa, da jih v resnici kar veliko ne ve, kaj v resnici Movember sploh je.
The word originates from the words Mo (Mustache) and November. Long beards and mustache are supposed to draw attention to various issues that can trouble men but don't get spoken about that often. Among these we can mention prostate cancer, testicular cancer (which is most common among young men!) and also psychological issues with special attention to suicide prevention.
Beseda izvira iz besed Mo (Mustache, torej brki) in November. Dolge brade in brki naj bi opozarjali na najrazličnejše težave, ki lahko pestijo moške, pa o njih ne govorimo pogosto - med njimi lahko omenimo raka prostate, raka na modih (ki je najpogostejši prav med mladimi moškimi!), pa tudi psihične težave, pri čemer se posebej poudarja preprečevanje samomorov.
