Take a good look at yourself
Article Abstract:
There is a need for men to less complacent about their bodies and spend less time talking about women's bodies. The Institute of Cancer Research has used this message in alerting men to the dangers of prostate and testicular cancer. prostate cancer causes the deaths of some 10,000 men annually in the United Kingdom compared with 14,000 for breast cancer, yet there is more funding for research on breast cancer. Men will have to adopt measures learnt from feminists in order to improve their health.
