I'm just going to go with flawed evolution on that. Human's are far from perfect beings. I dare say, in three million years, 75% of the terminal diseases on the planet will be eradicated, not necessarily via medicine, but just by immunities. I reckon we'll evolve past cancer.
But that's a different discussion
I know that breast cancer isn't a purely female disease, but it's advertised as one. All the adverts going around say 'breast cancer affects x amount of
women in the world' and have pictures of females on them. They also have pink ribbons, which, lets face it, is a colour with heavy connotations towards the female gender. I actually think that this proves my point a little more. Why are the women dying of this more important than the men? Granted there are more of them, but I'm of the opinion that one life is equal to another. Regardless of gender. It's down to a combination of feminism and the influence of the media. Horrible cocktail, in my opinion.
