Prostate Cancer Statistics

Question: Why does prostate cancer only get half the funding of breast cancer, even though they are both as common? There were 185,895 men diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2005. (The second leading cause of death, among men.) There were 186,467 diagnosed breast cancer cases in 2005. Why does breast cancer research get twice the funding, and nearly all of the media spotlight? http://www.cdc.gov/cancer/prostate/statistics/ http://www.cdc.gov/cancer/breast/statistics/

Answer: Its amazing how often you hear feminists complain that healthcare funding for women is less than for men, but the facts don't support this at all. In the UK for example: "A man diagnosed with prostate cancer has only one-quarter of the cash spent on research into his disease compared to the amount devoted to a woman’s breast cancer. The wide discrepancy shows the scale of the discrimination against men. The two diseases kill similar numbers" http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/uk/article579050.ece This issue is a bit like the 'sexist' wage gap - feminists just refuse to see sense.
