I am not having that! I can garden/ decorate from dawn to dusk. I am so tired when I finish I can bearly open a relieving beer. Ask the missus to have a quick tidy for me when I have finished and she can't manage it. Women use this pain thing as an excuse because they know we can't argue.

Just like the brilliant way they check for prostate cancer in men?

If it was women who had to have a finger stuck up their a**e to check for a lump I'm sure they'd have figured out a better way of doing it by now?

By the way, hands up, what is the next biggest cancer killer after breast cancer?

Now hands up, how much FREE screening is there is for it?

And finally how much publicity does it get compared to ovarian cancer, free smear tests and women whinging about the process, and claiming its all a male conspiracy? Yet thousands more men die from prostate cancer every year.

rant over :rolleyes:

And yet its all a male conspiracy....

Interesting :rolleyes:

Yes we all look forward to having another male stick a rubber fingered glove slimed with vaseline stuck up our a**e. Personally, I book early to avoid disappointment. :D

Couldnt have put it better myself.

If men made more of an effort to get these things checked then the funding would be made available....

Anyway you dont get free breast screening under 50 in this country (UK) which is crazy as there are plenty of 20-somethings who suffer.....

So its mens fault that smears are too intrusive, its mens fault there isn't more breast screening, and its mens fault that men don't get free prostate screening, and its mens fault that even if there was prostate screening they would be too embarrased to take it, so they would die anyway.

Damn, you're right, men are stupid.

How about a free holiday one week a month for every woman, than you guys can live in peace? Just make it at a spa please and don't hold back on the massages :D

You can have a blood test for it now and only get the "treatment" if the test is suspect. I know it 'cause it's the only way I get my man to the doc for his tests.
