Well also it's unmancho of men to let it be known you need help isn't
it? Men don't want help.

What's to stop men from campaigning little blue ribbons to promote
prostate cancer research? Maybe men are actually too shy about it? Or
rather in denial about it?

 Men can have prostate surgery and take that sawpalm stuff you know.
There is treatment for it. Woman can lose lives too to breast cancer
