The formation of the federal Office on Women’s Health (OWH) a decade ago has
brought immeasurable benefit to American women through its numerous outreach
and awareness campaigns. Ten years later, health advocates are asking for a
similar office for men.

The need for an Office of Men’s Health is acute, and the evidence that men’s
health is being ignored can’t be ignored. According to the Centers for
Disease Control, adjusting for age, men lead in all of the 10 most common
causes of death in the United States, and women live on average six years
longer than men.

Men only have themselves to blame for this. Many of them harbor a KoOkY
notion that going to see a doctor equates to “unmanliness”. It’s that
old, silly machismo routine… “I am teh tough guy!!11!” LOL

Imagine if they held a Race For The Cure of Prostate Cancer as they do
for breast cancer. I’m betting very few guys would show up, because they
would deem such activities as “gay”. *eyeroll* Point Blank: Men dislike
discussing their medical problems, then end up sick because of it… and
THEN what do they do???? Hate on females for being SMART enough to get
our asses to the doctor for a freaking check-up.
