    Yes, that’s true. 1% is still a significant enough amount (accounting for how large the human is at present) that men benefit from the past breast cancer research as well.

    I’m just pointing out that it isn’t a disease that only affects women. I dated a guy back when I was 14 or so, whose uncle got breast cancer. He was all paranoid that he had it, too, because he had lumps in his chest. In his case they turned out to be beniegn

    I’d rather that men know there is a (small) risk, than ignore signs because they think that only women can die from it

    1% is the typical birthcontrol pill failure rate, and I know of at least 2 babies born into the world while her mother was using bc pills

      I’d rather that money is apportioned to finding cures for diseases based on how many people they kill, not by which gender it effects the most.
