Why isn't there a men's cancer awareness day?

Isn't movember a movement to raise awareness about male health issues? It certainly doesn't get enough attention, but at least there is and we can help by spreading awareness!

Because tits are better for advertising than balls.

“Women tend to be braver and tougher – they have talked about their experiences and so people feel more comfortable addressing breast cancer and cervical cancer”

That's not braver and tougher, that's complaining and attention seeking.

Just speculating, if women's cancer wouldn't have gotten this much more funding would THEY die more than men? I mean maybe there is a reason they are funded more.

Also I think women receive more funding due to women being seen as something to protect within our culture since the beginning of our existence.

In theory if you want to address the life expectancy gap (and isn't this supposed to be about gaps according to the cry bullies), there should only be awareness days for men's health (or at least double what's expended for women).

Because nobody gives a fuck about men..... Are we still pretending we don't already know this?

What? Cancer is recognized all year round in men and women. This is like a white person saying, why is there only black history month?
