Prostate cancer is a male privilege

kireol · 2016-07-03T08:21:47+00:00

trade your slight risk of protate cancer for their serious risk of being raped,

Men are as likely, if not more likely (counting prison rape) to get raped...

being killed,

Men are about 4 to 5 times more likely to be killed violently than women are.

starving to death,

The fuck are you on about?

Are you just making shit up so you can have more to list?

or dying of preventable diseases

like... prostate cancer?

s4m47 · 2016-07-03T07:41:06+00:00

Because men cant be killed or raped or starve to death....?

Temperfuelmma · 2016-07-03T06:04:42+00:00

Imagine if a guy said rape was a female privilege

dixieStates · 2016-07-03T04:42:52+00:00

Jasus. These fucking cunts just won't put the brakes on.

scruffist · 2016-07-03T06:31:34+00:00

What a cunt. Assuming you live long enough, you have a 50/50 chance of getting prostate cancer.

GYN-k4H-Q3z-75B · 2016-07-03T08:39:13+00:00

Fuck everybody who believes that! As somebody with many in my family who had it, fuck you from the bottom of my heart.

Sabz5150 · 2016-07-03T09:47:23+00:00

As there are a lot of people who would trade a slight risk of breast cancer for their serious risk of dying in combat or in a mine a quarter of a mile in the ground.

Where's this from?

Mens-Advocate · 2016-07-03T14:20:26+00:00

My father died of prostate cancer. At age 62 let me tell you what a privilege it was for him to die so young. He was one of the most caring, intelligent and passionate people in the world. As his youngest son it was a great privilege to watch this very serious disease rip the life from his body. I'm not the kind of person to get offended easily. I even find cancer jokes funny. Make light of the things that hurt us in life sort of deal. This has irked me so greatly that I'm in tears. I hate misandrony disguised as feminism. It's unfortunate that the militant (read: idiot) minority make such a terrible stain on feminist movement, but when I read shit like this, I get angry to my core.

"We wont stop the rapings. Deal with it."

outhouse_steakhouse · 2016-07-03T13:57:30+00:00

Breast cancer is the epitome of female privilege.

Wow that works both ways.

LSme26 · 2016-07-03T05:55:42+00:00

incredible ! :(

skekze · 2016-07-03T16:35:33+00:00

Death is my privilege. I should count my unlucky stars.

badwig · 2016-07-03T19:00:23+00:00

Health spending on men is lower. Spending on 'male' cancers is lower. Male death rates from cancer are 1.5 times that of women. Men die younger generally. It is beyond debate, women are privileged.

2016-07-03T20:12:40+00:00

Women - stop talking about how you could get raped. Take a shower. Toughen up. Don't act like rape is such a big deal.

There are people in this world who would trade your slight risk of getting raped for being no longer considered disposable, being expected to fight and die in wars, an increased suicide risk, disproportional homelessness, their dangerous dirty and difficult jobs.

And for everyone, if you want to work on gendered problems, give some food to that homeless male veteran who lives in the park. Don't spend your limited time and concern and support on feminist inspired pseudo-issues.

I need to unsubscribe from this subreddit. This shit makes my blood boil.

Florient · 2016-07-03T15:50:24+00:00

I've this debate with feminists before. They love pushing the "prostate cancer is deadly" because they love to misrepresent the facts.

Prostate cancer is the biggest cancer killer of nonsmoking men. Yes the survival rate is high, but because the cancer is so common, the number of deaths is still high relative to other cancers.

It's like how 10% of 1000 is more than 50% of 100, even though 50% is a larger percent than 10%.

Prostate grows slowly, yes, but starts young, so by the late 60s men are dying at higher numbers than from any other cancer besides lung cancer.

This is a classic example of why it is fair to label feminism as a hate group. They go out of their way to spread LIES just to hurt men, even when it doesn't help women at all. These people are dangerous. It's also interesting to note that the author is male, male feminists are some of the very worst, because they are the most mentally ill.

manganga13 · 2016-07-03T14:12:07+00:00

I think there third paragraph in tandem with the second is what truly shows how fucked this person is.

2016-07-03T15:12:43+00:00

Dear friends, let's talk about once again something really important today: men. There are still people among us, I have heard, who think that men are worth something, that their death or suffering is somehow wrong. But, remember, in our cult every man is a privileged, they are not reallu suffering or dying ...

This post just gave me prostate cancer.

cymrich · 2016-07-03T16:51:12+00:00

My dad is currently dying from this, it runs in my family, I will almost certainly get it, it is not a privilege.

2016-07-03T17:03:31+00:00

No disease is privilege. Its a serious issue that kills a lot of men because society making it so they feel ashamed of it.

BriddickthFox · 2016-07-03T17:04:56+00:00

The utter lack of sympathy is astounding.

cymrich · 2016-07-03T17:35:15+00:00

wow... I had no idea my risk of prostate cancer negated my risks for all those other things... I can't be raped, killed, or starved to death because I might get prostate cancer! I am so privileged! /s

2016-07-03T18:02:05+00:00

I guess that Breast Cancer is also now a Privilege ?

rogue780 · 2016-07-03T18:59:32+00:00

So, fwiw, this piece was originally published in 2011 and has since been removed from the original site sometime last year. The original author, who is a white male living in America, also issued an apology in 2011.

I don't know if it's allowed here (mods chime in please) but I did track down the original article on archive.org as well as the apology and I can post them if it's allowed.

DroppaMaPants · 2016-07-03T19:43:51+00:00

Of all the retarded things I've read - this one is the most retarded. That - and when someone complained about mayonnaise actually being a gender.

2016-07-03T21:16:32+00:00

Reading this gave me prostate cancer

purpleblossom · 2016-07-03T21:36:00+00:00

It takes a special kind of asshole/bitch to write this smeg.

Dazz316 · 2016-07-03T22:11:47+00:00

This is the part in any argument I find rediculous. This isn't a fucking competition. You can't win in the game of cancer vs rape. It's fucking awful either way. These people think my problem is bad for me therefore you can fuck off with your problems.

Besides is they want to play that game take them on a trip to fucking Africa and watch her play there.

T4keTheShot · 2016-07-03T22:20:31+00:00

Lets be honest, in todays society a rape accusation means nothing anymore. If you have ever had sex while having a drop of alcohol in your system then technically it is rape. Everyone knows Lena Dunham lied when she accused the guy of raping her but she is still seen as a hero by feminists. She should go to jail, the guy could easily have ended up in prison because of her false accusations.

TracyMorganFreeman · 2016-07-04T01:30:07+00:00

Better add in the other risks that comes from being a man, such as every cancer is that isn't breast, cervical or ovarian, murder, suicide, occupational fatalities, alcoholism, assault, burglary, and on and on.

dolandoes · 2016-07-04T03:52:39+00:00

the guy who wrote this issued an apology years ago:

http://thelinknewspaper.ca/blogs/entry/on-no-to-movember

dumb article he wrote. but the past is the past. gotta let it go.

people online want apologies and when they get them refuse to forgive or let time pass and see what change comes. i think that's petty and counterproductive. but not everyone sees forgiveness as useful.

I keep saying this but no-one will listen; women, if you want to avoid being raped, simply wear a feminist t-shirt, colour your hair red and take about STDs (and/or abortion - feminists can talk for hours about both).

Then even the most enraged horny rapist won't touch you.
