I noticed another women's health campaign is starting today for endometriosis.
Why do we never see similar campaign for mens health risks.
Apparently just asking that question makes me a misogynist.

Of course it doesn't. Deliberately ignoring any examples you're given that disprove your point might suggest it, though. Randy Winkman said:
Eh? It's for men's health issues including prostate cancer, testicular cancer, mental health and suicide prevention. I raised £325 doing it 2 years ago. £325 for doing next to nothing. Why not give it a go?
That is rather missing my point, it's fine raising funds for research by growing a tash and I've donated when colleagues have done it the last two years, but where are the actual awareness campaigns? What are the symptoms? Sure I could google them, but I couldn't tell you off the top of my head what the symptoms are for prostate or testicular cancer, I've never seen those reported widely. I can tell you the symptoms for breast cancer, painful sub-surface lumps, the importance of HPV vaccines and cervical screening.
Where is the mass media awareness, it's actually practically non-existent.

Men don’t matter. HTH
Men don't care about their own health - HTHI'm a case in point. I'm 46, I last went to the doctors aged 11. The last time I had any sort of medical check was at a Navy medical when I was 18. We moved to a new area four years ago, I'm yet to register with a GP. I am not unusual.

The single biggest killer of men under 45 has recently had a campaign started in association with such luminaries as Lad Bible to provide help for those who might be suffering.
But it's not very glamorous and you won't have thousands of people wearing pink tutus or t-shirts jogging through your city to raise funds to help prevent it.

Why do you suppose that breast cancer gets so much coverage and charity money? It's because boobs are sexy and sexy things are easy to market. With the best will in the world, prostrates and suicides are not sexy.
This isn't the fault of women or lefties, or even lefty women, it's the fault of marketing men (and by and large they will be men).
