I think it's और complex than that. Breast cancer is और लोकप्रिय because आप 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.

Hm, that's pretty well thought out. I wouldn't have thought of that at all. Also, rape jokes get into the mix with prostate exams too, which is completely false and not to mention all kinds of wrong.
Surviving any kind of cancer is heroic, I don't know where this टिप्पणी दे came from. Breast cancer gets और 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 दिल disease, which led to the mistaken belief that दिल disease is a man's issue and something women don't need to worry about as much.
But did आप 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 दिल disease. Nearly five times as many women (200,000) will die from दिल attacks alone this साल than will die from breast cancer."
Why is there not a bigger campaign for preventing दिल disease in women? Why is breast cancer what gets और media attention? दिल disease kills और 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 टिप्पणी दे 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 दिल disease kills और women than men."
DOCTORS don't know that दिल disease kills और women than men...what does that tell you? That's just unreal.

Yeah, that is somethng to think about. They have had दिल disease awareness before, but it was not directed towards women solely, but breast cancer has had the most awareness publicity than दिल disease, you're right. I don't even see those दिल disease awareness campaigns anywhere anymore. It's sad.
Just because आप survive breast cancer doesn't make आप a hero. It means you're strong, and you're a survivor, but seriously, आप didn't save lives, या stop a war, या 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 और heroic than any other kind. If आप 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.
