Question by The Equalist: How many women wore Prostate Cancer ribbons on Father’s Day?
On Mother’s Day, many men wore pink ribbons to support the fight and research against breast cancer. Many men marched in breast cancer research-funding walks and parades. Many men joined women in various charity drives for the support of breast cancer research. In fact, the Major League Baseball players (all men) used pink bats and wore pink armbands in the games that Mother’s Day to support this very same cause.

Now, how many women wore prostate cancer ribbons for Father’s Day?
*crickets*
Further evidence that women today are far more sexist than men.
Let me also state that there is roughly the same amount of reported cases of prostate cancer per year as there is breast cancer cases (slightly over 200,000 for each) — the number difference between the two diseases only being a few thousand.
How many of you women even know what a Prostate Cancer ribbon looks like? Probably none of you.
Don’t worry ladies, I’ve provided a link: http://www.theribbonlady.com/images/light-blue-layout.jpg
Shivers, you seem angry. I wore breast cancer ribbons on Mother’s day and light-blue ribbons on Father’s Day.
Also, contrary to what you said, I did provide facts — one being that there are roughly as many prostate cancer cases each year as there are breast cancer cases.
You say men should say ” ‘what about me’ victim stuff”, well, what exactly do you think feminism does constantly, hypocrite? Feminism is inherently a “what about me” victim-mentality movement.
Rio Madeira: Light-blue ribbons and armbands were worn by MLB players on Father’s Day, although to my knowledge there were no light-blue bats – indicating that feminist society says we should care more about women.

If this were a women’s professional league; pink would be worn on Mother’s Day, and Father’s Day would be ignored. Thank you feminism.
Carrie: I have never seen the “save the ta-tas” shirt, but if that is true then that is pretty uncouth and unnecessary. Sounds like they’re trivializing the importance of it by linking it with sexual pop-culture terminology. But I guess they thought they were being “cute”. When I think of something such as “cancer”, be it breast cancer or anything, the last thing we should be thinking about is how it’s sex-related.
Lee: I know you’re a troll, because all of your responses to every question is about how men die and men get diseases. You’re either a man posting as a woman, and you want to make women look bad, or this is some kind of S&M fetish to you. Or you’re a woman that’s just a misandrist.
And I have to correct you — breast cancer tends to be deadlier than prostate cancer. Prostate cancer patients have about a 95% chance of survival if they treat it.

Somehow I think you know your own answer. I think I have male intuition.
Seriously though, the women are not going to take up the fight for men in the numbers that men have for women. Women are just built selfish, not all but a good number. The proof is in the pudding, not just my word.
edit
Im sure there would have to be some, be it a small amount, of women that would of helped in some way. They should be acknowledged and thanked as they are fantastic humans
