Don't get me wrong. man, I love boobies. However, I'm just saying that it's because there are misandrist feminists which is why we don't have things for men. I think prostate cancer walks for men would be important, because it's very detrimental and has the ability to spread quite easily to vital organs.
You said "boobies"
Boobies. While trying to make a serious point.
I mean, it's nothing to do with the fact that you're wrong here, but you sound very immature.
You sound like someone that's talking about a conspiracy of feminists right after finding out what misandry means.
Prostate cancer is a horrible, detrimental disease that affects a lot of men, but they do advocate for treatment and help for it, just not as loudly as breast cancer.
The doctors always tell you to get your prostate checked out if you're a man over 50, like pretty much every single doctor that my dad went to his yearly checkup for in the last 12 years.
Hell, prostate cancer awareness and prostate exams are not exactly a niche thing that almost nobody knows: almost anyone that's watched Family Guy at least knows what a prostate exam is, and anyone over 50 seems to be being told to get checked out.
However, breast cancer is more openly disfiguring than prostate or testicular cancer.
Testicular cancer isn't generally quite as deadly and widespread as breast cancer, unless the patient is an idiot that doesn't go in until it's too late. Prostate cancer doesn't affect young men as much.
Breast cancer can pretty much affect women of just about any age, even though younger cases much are rarer. Not quite as rare as a prostate cancer case is in a young man.
There's advocates for pretty much every type of cancer that's widespread enough.
Also, OP, if you never think there's any hype for testicular cancer, Livestrong. It's not exclusively for it, but c'mon, it's supported by Lance Armstrong because he had it and survived.
