The organization behind breast cancer awareness just seem to be better organized than the prostate group. Few women seem to be aware that their number one killer is heart disease, not breast cancer, but the heart association doesn’t push their message as hard. Simply stated, it seems to be better PR and an awareness message that has worked.
And the Susan B. Komen (or is Comen?) group has a lot of DemocRAT ties. Lots of your anti-cancer dollars go to Planned Parenthood for their nonexistent cancer-screening programs—and some think onward to the ‘Rat party. When I see pink these days, I think “pinko.”
That, and people are more sympathetic givers if you tell them that “mom is gonna die.” Men suffering from cancer is not a pretty, feel good motivator.
