“They want people to be aware of the fact that breast cancer is one of the leading causes of death among women.”
Roughly the same number of men and women die each year in the USA from breast cancer and prostate cancer, respectively.
In fiscal year 2009, breast cancer research received $872 million worth of federal funding, while prostate cancer received $390 million. It is estimated that fiscal year 2010 will end similarly, with breast cancer research getting $891 million and prostate cancer research receiving $399 million.
Private charitable funding is similarly disparate.
In short, men don’t matter.
We exist to protect, work, and die when no longer useful.
