[QUOTE] It's not specified either way in the brochures I've seen over the years, but most times when people are speaking it's assuming to be female breast cancer (which lets face it is the most common by a multiple of about 100), but even so,does it really matter whether the charity event specifically calls out the possibility that the men are potentially able to get breast cancer ? So what ?[/QUOTE] This _is_ the point. So what, yeah, I guess that is one view to take. Pretty much on par with your guess as to how many blokes are affected by it. Lets not take it serious, cos it isn't a problem. Should people really assume that it is for women, or is that just where the funding goes? Can you tell me on that point, as to how the funding is divvied up for those with, er, I mean "victims" of breast cancer.... Perhaps pink isn't the most obvious colour for a gender non-specific cause. Perhaps the support for the ride might change if it was known that males are/were likely recipients, or, is it the paternalistic adage of "the girls need my help and they can't do it themselves"?
