Men are usually blamed for failing to take less care of their health than women.

1. If this is so then why do government-funded organisations such as the BBC provide LESS health guidance for men than for women - rather than MORE?

2. As per Angry Harry's complaints, the above is a CLEAR demonstration of the feminist-dominated MEDIA short-changing men at the outset rather than men short-changing themselves.

3. If the most influential government-supported media organisation in the western world is concerned more with the health of women than with that of men, then this is CLEAR evidence that, in the area of health, men are being discriminated against by that most influential of media!

4. In a recent popular medical series entitled Trust Me I'm A Doctor, one of the programmes contained information about testicular cancer. It was treated as if it was some sort of joke. You know, jokes about men’s testicles and the way they hang and what have you. But in the same series they covered the topic of breast cancer. This topic was treated with absolute seriousness and concern. Is it therefore surprising that young men do not learn to take their health seriously when influential programmes on the BBC do not take such matters seriously themselves but, instead, poke fun at the men whom they are purportedly concerned about?
