This is great news. Yet, sadly, I am drawn to wondering who will complain about this the loudest. Will it be misogynists who say "they're not helping men with their cancer", or anti-vaxxers saying "this vaccine will actually CAUSE cancer"?
What about people who are both misogynist and anti-vaccine?
Fuck em, essentially. Rather have cancer than a vaccine, that's their choice. It's not until it's a required vaccine that it makes much difference.
Yes, that's the attitude that people have as they make the world worse. It's not the best attitude.
And just what are you suppose to do with the people who are intentionally holding everything back?
If you believe in not hurting people, you don't hurt people.
In what way, exactly, does ignoring people with shit takes hurt them? Butthurt? That’s a chance I’m willing to take.
Well at least ovarian cancer isn’t airborne and contagious like covid. So antivaxxers can avoid it all they want, it’s their choice if they want to die from a disease that they could’ve prevented.
$10 says Alex Jones and his troglodyte cult following are gonna have a field day 😮💨
Alex is a little busy losing everything he owns right now.
He'll multitask
Sure. He'll also drink large quantities of liquor and cry.
Absolutely.
Yeah, I knew it. Here come the sad sacks with the useless "this is good news, but......"
I'm an academic working to analyse hate speech, with a particular focus on online misogyny. As bigotry is illogical, common features of communications of that hatred is stuff that is wholly made up. This include the idea that men are being short-changed by a medical industry which prioritise female health. This is factually untrue, in terms of gender differences in health outcomes.
If knowing about the truth makes me a 'sad sack', fine. Maybe being correct and 'sad' is more important than being incorrect yet happy.
Ok, good point. Yet, sadly, children die of cancer.
And, sadly, sometimes parents refuse the vaccine that would help.
Good point. Yet, sadly, puppies sometimes get cancer.
It’s a good thing we invented this straw person to have this whole discussion artificially when literally no one else was bringing it up. If we can’t find any monsters I guess we’ll invent them and do it anyway. 🙄
Oh you sweet summer child. I wish I could live in your brain.
Yet another who could have just shut the fuck up. Alas.
You seem to be having a bad day. Maybe taking it out on strangers will help?
So, neither misogynists nor anti-vaxxers exist?
I can find you evidence of men complaining about free period products. I am certain there will be men complaining that female cancers are getting cures, and not male ones.
They exist, are they here on Lemmy without artificially or “ironically” sharing their awesome hot takes? The world will never know.
