Because breast cancer isn't the only cancer that needs a cure.

Anyway, I'm doing this for this contest [link] while also trying to prove a point.

Look, I think it's great that so many people bond together to help fight breast cancer, but it's NOT the only thing that needs to be fought. And from what I've seen, prostate cancer gets jack in comparsion to breast cancer. It receives less and less money than breast cancer. Apparently people aren't aware that prostate cancer affects and kills men just as much as breast cancer does to women. You see alot of women who are victims of breast cancer at least get support and hope from thousands of people who organise campaigns to raise money for them aswell as raising more awareness for women. But for men? Well, PAH! Who gives a fuck about what men go through RITE? But seriously, men who are victims of prostate cancer deserve the same gift! Many fathers and older beloved men have fallen victim to this cancer so they should get the support they deserve!

I demand more prostate cancer campaigns out there! Because cancer is cancer, no matter what the form is. And no one's life should be cut short because of it. I'm not saying we should forget about breast cancer and focus more on prostate cancer, cause that won't do much help, but we should focus and raises awareness for both cancers equally, as well as other diseases out there.

So if you're a man, feel free to favourite this stamp to show you are aware and proud of it! And women can also do the same to show they care for the men in their lives.

Sorry if this wasn't artistic enough for the contest. I probably won't win, but as long as the message gets out there, it doesn't matter much. I will do the same for testicular cancer and male breast cancer soon.

Ex-fucking-actly. I'm absolutely tired of cancer awareness photos that shows that, guess what, only women suffers. Uhm.. Deadly illnesses don't look into genders. It affects everyone and I'm sick of the fact that only women are shown as victims! What about men!? Don't they suffer as well?!

When I brought this up in my college's breast cancer awareness rally, they said that men as a whole don't suffer as women do. It aggravated me because even my friends supported what the nurse said! When I suggested to have a prostate cancer awareness day, they said "men already get enough attention. Come back when you finally decide to help women that suffer." ................ :| No comment. Just... no.

Excatly. Men also suffer from breast cancer, yet people don't seem to get that either. I mean, ever wonder why the ribbon for that awareness day is pink? Because people think only women are affected. Granted men may not get it as much but that's no excuse to overlook the fact that they can get it as well.

It's not an excuse either to overlook other forms of cancer as well. But no, we're women. WE need the attention because, damn it, we don't get any! Pshh.

Yeah, people for some reason won't buy crap with a prostate cancer awareness ribbon but if it is for "teh boobz" Oh yeah! When I was working at an OfficeMax, while setting up for October's breast cancer awareness merchendice he posed the question, "Why do you see nothing for prostate cancer?" and I agreed with him.

And for some reason, when I ask that question, some people think I'm quote on quote "BAWWWWWING". Yeah because you can't get some sexy jelly tits from prostate cancer so who the fuck cares and if you demand more of it, you're just a whiny bitch. It's no wonder humanity's IQ is dropping.

I know. I mean if you want to treat each case equally, men's reproductive health needs to be given as much attention too.
