This is a nit to pick, but are women still pretending breast cancer isn't talked about. Every major sports league, with male players, all have breast cancer events annually. Even professional wrestling has breast cancer events. You know what's never mentioned in these men heavy participants and viewers, prostate cancer.
I get so tired of hearing about breast cancer. And do you know what else never gets brought up? Men can get breast cancer. But you never see dudes in all those survivor events.
It's because "raising awareness" activism is easy and lucrative. Raise $1m (through donors or government grants from your friends in the bureaucracy), pay yourself $200k, pay some spokesperson celebrity $150k, and use the rest to pay a crew to "produce" a 30-second spot and a flyer.
So "raising awareness" activists agitate for more and more funding, and bigger and bigger "awareness" campaigns.
It's a grift for otherwise completely useless people.
"Raising awareness" is advertisement without a product. It's a marketing company realizing that they can market themselves if they pick the right name. An advertisement raising funding for more advertisements.
Its not only shouted from every fucking corner possible, but its been billions if not trillions of dollars "raised" for it and barely a difference made in terms of actually doing anything about it.
They still just go to chemo, lose their hair, and get their tit removed. Same old song and dance as it ever was.
The difference in death rate is minuscule to the amount we could have improved every single life in America by just giving them that money back as a rebate. Including preventing deaths from literally everything else.

Yes, the superbowl commercials had once claiming it isn’t talked about.
