5. Just for fun, I looked up...

The American Cancer Society's estimates for breast cancer in the United States for 2013 are:
About 232,340 new cases of invasive breast cancer will be diagnosed in women.
About 64,640 new cases of carcinoma in situ (CIS) will be diagnosed (CIS is non-invasive and is the earliest form of breast cancer).
About 39,620 women will die from breast cancer

Other than skin cancer, prostate cancer is the most common cancer in American men. The American Cancer Society’s estimates for prostate cancer in the United States for 2013 are:
About 238,590 new cases of prostate cancer will be diagnosed
About 29,720 men will die of prostate cancer

About 1 man in 6 will be diagnosed with prostate cancer during his lifetime.

So, where are the Andrew G. Komen blue wallets and hammers and stuff?

While I fully support research and assistance to victims of breast cancer, I am pretending to be the Martian visitor watching the hoopla over a dreadful "woman's disease" compared to the overall silence concerning an equally dreadful "men's disease" and curious as to just why this is.
