Not to be sexist or anything, but prostate cancer strikes 80% as many men as breast cancer strikes women. Where is prostate cancer awareness month and the attendant multi-million dollar campaigns?
prostrate just doesn’t have the marketing appeal of boobs......
;^)
Wny? Becuase women contol the purse strings.
I’m not sure where you got “80%” from, but I seem to recall CDC numbers showing that both the incidence and mortality from prostate cancer are higher than the corresponding numbers for breast cancer.
Haven’t you heard? The NFL and maybe college sports, now have a red ballcap to bring attention to prostate cancer. I’m sure they must have an awareness month by now, too. Maybe it’s all rolled into the Jimmy V foundation and its basketball outreach. I’m sorry you’ve felt left out of victim recognition.

You Sexist and Racist scum!
Any statement that goes against the Mainstream Left is sexist and racist!
There’s a breast-cancer awareness foundation called “Feel Your Boobies”. “Get A Finger Up Your...” just doesn’t have the same...uh, ring...to it.
Men can, and do, have breast cancer.
That’s something to look forward to. Let’s talk about men’s private parts even more than we already do now.
Adults used to put this much effort into their children’s wellbeing.
I geuss Prostrate Awareness Month is pretty much whenever there is a baseball or football game on. Its impossible nowadays to watch a game on tv and just be bombarded with these Viagara and prostrate cancer type ads. Its kinda ridiculous.
Nope. No one wants to see that. And what would the designated color be?
however, breast cancer strikes young women many times, and rarely does prostate strike a young man....I've heard it said that if men live long enough, they will get prostate cancer....
not making light of it but I think a disease that can kill 20 or 30 yros is more frightening than one that could kill a 65 yro....
What color of ribbon would they use for this disease??
