Male health campaigns, where are they?

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.

Good timing too.

Growing a mustache, yes that is real concern.

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.

Who do you think is to blame for that?

Those that try to stifle the question would be a good place to start.

There's your answer, OP. The consensus is that the reason why we don't have any male health campaigns is because you haven't started one. It's your fault.
That must be quite a helpful insight to your query.

Mind you, I quite liked the suggestion of stopping "winging" as winging can be quite a dangerous sport. (I wonder what the intended insult actually was? )

Yep, perhaps I should and go look after my own interests, doubly ironic given that I'm also being accused of being anti-leftie.

I'm not going to give up that easily, but just point out that nobody has yet, even said they know the symptoms of prostrate or testical cancer, never mind drawn attention to them.
