Since it's #InternationalMensDay, here's a thread of every part of the gynaecological anatomy that is named after a man, with a bit of trivia about each man. Some of the bits are very specific. Before you ask, there are no parts of the gynaecological anatomy named after women...
GABRIELE FALLOPPIO (circa 1522-1562)🇮🇹 is the namesake of the Fallopian tubes, the tubes between the ovaries and the uterus. You can also call them the ovarian tubes or uterine tubes. 
Falloppio found himself caught up in a row with fellow anatomist Realdo Colombo about who had discovered the clitoris (in fact, neither of them had), which raged for years after both men had died.
To all the Men out there… Open this thread #InternationalMensDay
I know you guys won't be expecting any wishes because our world and this society doesn't celebrate your existence like it celebrates other occasions and somewhere you too aren't much affected by this now.
To all such men, who are currently, blinking their eyes in the thought of their future, career, their job, their upcoming exam, to all the men who got rejected and thinking about their lost love,
अगदी लहानपणापासून आयुष्यात असणाऱ्या दादा, बाबा, मित्र, नवरा सर्वांसाठी समर्पित.....

नेहमी आपण मुलींबद्दल लिहितो वाचतो, sympthy दर्शवितो, आणि त्या बद्दल आदर आहेच,
पण कधीच मुलांविषयी लिहिल्या जात नाही,
म्हणून छोटासा प्रयत्न -
अगदी लहानपणापासून त्याला शिकविल्या जातं,
"तू मुलगा आहेस" मुलींसारखं रडू नकोस,
बिचारा तो कित्येकदा दुःख मनात साठवूनही हक्काने आपले अश्रू बाहेर पडू देत नाही,
"घरचा मोठा मुलगा आहेस",
जबाबदारीने वागायला शिक, हेच सतत त्याला ऐकविल्या जातं.
घरच्या जबाबदाऱ्या पार पाडता पाडता,
"तू मुलगा आहेस" मुलींसारखं रडू नकोस,

जबाबदारीने वागायला शिक, हेच सतत त्याला ऐकविल्या जातं.
घरच्या जबाबदाऱ्या पार पाडता पाडता,
बिचारा स्वतः ला च विसरून जातो, जसजस वय वाढत जातं तस तस त्याला कळत जातं, आईबाबा आता थकलेत, त्यांना आराम द्यायला हवा, अस म्हणून अगदी पर्वतप्रमाणे उभा राहतो, कितीही संकटे आली तरीही तो मागे खचत नाही, अगदी धीराने सर्व गोष्टींना सामोरे जातो, तो असतो मुलगा. .
खूप मुलं असे पण असतात,

1/ Have a look to see if anything is happening near you ukmensday.org.uk/events/

2/ If there isn't anything happening near you, start thinking about what you can do to ensure that next year there is

3/ Have a read & a think about the case for a National Men's Health Strategy. There is a gender-specific strategy for women's health but not men's, despite men having worse health outcomes, shorter life expectancy, less healthy lifestyles & less support.

Our society has always portrayed man as a stronger gender; one who is physically strong, doesn’t cry & is emotionally stronger. This myth not only makes men weaker but also pressurizes them to succumb to live up to the ideals of society. Look what has happened due to this-

Some observations on the International Men's Day debate that's just ended in the House of Commons 🧵
First up, I was one of the people who last year took issue with the focus of @NickFletcherMP in the same debate. Credit where due, this year he made the case really well for a national men's health strategy & a minister for men & raised loads of excellent & correct points. >
Quick personal opinion on this one @NickFletcherMP - I think the strongest argument against a MoM is that it implies a false equivalence to the role of the Minister for Women & Equalities. That is a fair & legitimate objection. So I think the full title >
In Indore video of a girl crying for help in an Audi gt viral after a concerned SIMP made a video and uploaded it. When Police traced the girl she claimed tat she was with her brother. Later while leaving the Police Station she slapped a journalist and fled away

این قسمت modern family رو شخصا خیلی دوست دارم و با کلمه کلمهاش ارتباط برقرار میکنم. خیلی دقیق رابطهی مردها با احساساتشون رو توضیح میده.
میگه وقتی بچه بود و تو بازی استخون ترقوهاش شکست، پدرش بهش گفت «قوی باش» و ادامه بده. انقدر ادامه داد که از درد از هوش رفت. /۱

دختری که تو دبیرستان باهاش قرار دِیت داشت، با یه پسر دیگه رفت و قلبش رو شکست. پدرش تو آشپزخونه میبیندش. بهش میگه ساندویچت رو بخور و اون دختر رو فراموش کن. همین. جایی برای ابراز احساسات نبود.
وقتی پدرش مُرد، با اینکه همه دنیای اون بود، سر مراسمش گریه نکرد. نتونست. /۲

فکر میکنم ۳-۴ سالم بود که تو بازی زمین خوردم و از درد گریهام گرفت. داییام شب من رو آورد وسط جمع، و جلوی همه شروع کرد به مسخره کردن که این امروز سر بازی گریه کرد. همه هم ریز ریز خندیدن. /۳

It's #InternationalMensDay, so we're going to introduce you to some trans men from history today.
Before we begin, we'd like to note there are caveats in interpreting people from the past as trans. This is discussed in our podcast episode Trans Saints and Gay Vikings, featuring @MxComan and @queertyyr - you can listen here vaginamuseum.co.uk/podcast/transs…
We'll start with a trans saint discussed in the podcast: St Marinos the Monk. Marinos lived in the 5th century, in what is now Syria or Lebanon. He became a monk as a young man - in this 14th century French illustration, he's the guy in red.

You're definitely missing some great African driven content if you're not following @NewsCentralTV. Let me share a few videos of what you've missed. #AfricaFirst #NewsCentral
@NewsCentralTV I recently sat down to discuss "Infertility in African Culture" on #NCDebrief. My guest was @MissMolatelo. Her personal journey informed her documentary "When Babies Don't Come." She shared how she was treated by family and friends in this time.
@NewsCentralTV @MissMolatelo Another recent #NCDebrief focused on "Breaking Into The African Music Scene." Hosted by @SibuNyanda with guests @JoeyAkan and @joeboyofficial, they delved into the industry and its moving parts. It was good. Check it here
It's #InternationalMensDay and I just want to thank my dad, who, when I asked him if it was ok that I didn't want him to walk me down the aisle at my wedding, said "good, that always made me uncomfortable too, you're not something to give away."
My uncles are all fairly conventional older Korean men, somewhat distant from their kids, but my dad never was. I always wonder if it was because he didn't do military service, and he always seemed distinctly uncomfortable with a certain kind of military, patriarchal masculinity.
One time when my mom and I were having a major argument about something (read: full-on screaming fight), my husband got so uncomfortable that he retreated to one of the bedrooms. My dad followed him and said, reassuringly, "Don't be afraid. Sometimes, love is struggle."
On this #InternationalMensDay, I’d like to highlight all the types of men we should ALL stay away from.
First off, the “women should have hair past your shoulders” men.
First off, the “women should have hair past your shoulders” men.
2. Men who feel that a woman’s only worth is their ability to breed.
3. Men who call other men “white knights” when these men point out their assholes. Bonus points for “she’s not going to fuck you.”
Men need to pay more attention to their health.

A man without a mission is a rudderless man. If you don’t have a plan for your own life, someone else will co-opt you into theirs. A man with a Mission will always win over a man without, in all areas of life.

Have commitments, take on responsibilities, but always give yourself the ability to manoeuvre. You are powerless without it.

Me & Khalid in NISA Local are more than customer & vendor. He’s the most consistent male presence in my life. He always asks how I am or what I’m up to. He let me try a bar of Ritter Sport for free.
“Why the word sport when it’s chocolate!” he chuckles.
“I’m so lonely”, I retort.

Also Khalid only drinks water. That’s it. Just water. Hot water with lemon at a push. How do I get this guy a Pride Of Britain award???
I didnt even know it was #InternationalMensDay but it feels very apt to say that the only man i give a remote shit about is Khalid.

Being a man is not about being the one that sleeps with the most girls, but the strongest or the smartest
Its not even the one that has the most accomplishments.
In fact, it's the men who run after such things that are trying to cover up some insecurities

A man loves others deeply
Loves himself deeply
Has a dream that inspires him and others around him
He does not judge his life or that of any one else by a score
He does not not use money as a replacement for emotional connection
He doesn't judge his life by the things he owns

He does not always fight, sometimes peace is what matters
He does not take risks just because he can, he understands he is human also and can bleed

I know that the pressure to conform to masculine stereotypes can engender existential crises in men and boys. I am not without sympathy.
But I've taken my last 'patriarchy hurts men equally' lecture from men who can't find the toilet cleaner.
Seriously. Stop it.
But I've taken my last 'patriarchy hurts men equally' lecture from men who can't find the toilet cleaner.
Seriously. Stop it.
Patriarchy benefits men. It benefits poor men and it benefits men of colour. It benefits disabled men and it benefits unhappy men.
Benefitting men is its raison d'etre.
That doesn't mean I don't love my brother, stupid.
