Just to add argument to the thread... did you know that for every 100 women that develop breast cancer approximately 1 man develops it too.
Don't confuse the issue. I'm still getting over the sudden switch from no man has ever died of prostate cancer to as many men get prostate cancer as women get brest cancer.

If we rarely hear about it, or if our focus is entirely on the sex that predominantly suffers, does that make it sexist?
Hey, I'm sure they will give you a better breast x-ray than any women ever gets. I'm sure I hear my placid wife mumbling something along the line of "fscking lesbian sadists" every time she goes through the breast squashing vice.

Wrong. I had a man do one of my mammograms. He was the worst operator I've ever had. No idea at all, from my viewpoint. Women X-Ray technicians do it much, much better - though it still isn't fun. I should have followed my instincts & demanded a female tech.

I reckon they should have a rule about that. Mammograms are free for women over 40 or something right? They should only be conducted by women over 40 (who have them, and know what they're like). My mum used to say her b00bs took a whole day to bounce back from the squishing.
