Perhaps it works. But you'll notice that "they" (the medical profession) have always recommended removal of some or other body part IF IT'S A WOMAN who has the perceived problem. (Remember the hysterectomy craze?)

No way would these same experts say, "Men with a high-risk cancer gene should remove their testicles as a precaution in order to live longer, according to controversial new research."

You're right. You know why that is? It's because they don't do hardly any research on male-specific cancers. You ladies have lobbied and howled for so much money to be spent on breast cancer that there is now more spent on that than on all male-specific and all child-specific cancers combined. And breast cancer isn't even the #1 killer of women. It isn't even the #1 cancer among women. It's all symbolism over substance. Now comes the ridiculous result that can be expected from spending more money than they know what to do with, and your response is that women are the victims.

Gimme gimme gimme, victim victim victim. When does that act end?
