Why is there more focus on breast cancer than prostate cancer when both kill equally

Why is there more focus on breast cancer than prostate cancer when both kill equally?
The NFL is a host of...yes, Breast Cancer. The commercials on Fox today supported Breast Cancer and not prostate cancer. Both are equally deadly but we see more "breast cancer" because it is PC. If you disagree, you are retarded (hate to say it).

Because everybody loves breasts!

Actually prostate cancer kills more men than breast cancer kills women. Funding for diseases are not always rational. Breast cancer had a strong champion in the feminist movement who were campaigning for more focus on women's health issues. I know it seems unfair that this focus still exists, as in general women are healthier than men. Unfortunately health care and politics mix together. But this doesn't take away from the fact that breast cancer is a serious issue and while we should also fund and support initiatives related to prostate cancer, we shouldn't ignore breast cancer.

Although they are both very common perhaps breast cancer is more common than prostate cancer.
