What do te think of this comment?

I think both male and female cancer survivors are hailed as Heroes not just women with breast cancer so this isn't completely accurate

I think it's più complex than that. Breast cancer is più popolare because te get to say "breast". It's sexual, and people like to think about innate womanhood in terms of sexuality. Prostates are sexual, but are often thought of such only within homosexual relationships. As homosexuality is so looked down upon, the prostate is thought of as only gross.

It's definitely worth feminist attention, but isn't a straight-up sexist thing.

Surviving any kind of cancer is heroic, I don't know where this commento came from. Breast cancer gets più media attention for one thing because women have had to fight to get women's health issues recognized and have organized around the issue. But also breast cancer deals with saving something many men see as incredibly valuable in women, "saving the tatas" as one campaign puts it, so it gets attention from men too. I think this combination is the reason breast cancer has a high visibility in the media.

For many, many years studies on all sorts of diseases were done on male subjects only, including cuore disease, which led to the mistaken belief that cuore disease is a man's issue and something women don't need to worry about as much.

But did te know this: "Heart disease is the leading cause of death of women in the U.S. Almost every minute, a woman in the U.S. dies from cuore disease. Nearly five times as many women (200,000) will die from cuore attacks alone this anno than will die from breast cancer."

Why is there not a bigger campaign for preventing cuore disease in women? Why is breast cancer what gets più media attention? cuore disease kills più women than breast cancer, isn't it sexist to focus on something that is seen as the only value women have, our sexuality? The focus with many campaigns is saving the breasts, not as much saving the life of the women they're attached to.

This commento breast cancer vs. prostate cancer sounds like a bunch of MRA bullshit 'reverse sexism' whining to me.

Another fact: "only eight percent of primary care physicians and 17 percent of cardiologists knew that cuore disease kills più women than men."

DOCTORS don't know that cuore disease kills più women than men...what does that tell you? That's just unreal.

Nothing about cancer is heroic.

Just because te survive breast cancer doesn't make te a hero.
It means you're strong, and you're a survivor, but seriously, te didn't save lives, o stop a war, o do anything remotely heroic, so the whole idea of cancer surviving being heroic is just ridiculous.

Uhhh, excuse me if I'm wrong, but I never thought any type if cancer is più heroic than any other kind. If te ask me, anyone (and I've met people who have survived cancer) and I consider all those people, no matter what kind of cancer they survived, equally brave. I find it ridiculous that anyone would say something like that.

I think it might be a joke, but yes, i can see why people find this annoying.

Once again, it's painting female-kind in a negative light.
As usual.
