Are feminists who advocate for increased prostate cancer research defecting or breaking rank

Are feminists who advocate for increased prostate cancer research defecting or breaking rank?
Or should they just follow the party line and obfuscate the issue?

I don't know what you think feminism it, but there is no breaking rank if a woman chooses to support a cause. It is not an organization or party, it's simply supporting women. Most feminist have fathers, husbands, sons and brothers so why wouldn't they want to advocate for their health too? There is a real temptation here to characterize feminists as being capable of only one thought or purpose. This may shock you but we are also humans with families, friends, memories and everything that you have. I'm sure there are feminists who advocate for this research, they just may not be doing in through a feminist group. For example, I'm a feminist active in feminist causes but I have also supported homlessness, the heart and stroke foundation, diabetes research, cancer, childhood disabilities and Scouting.

They are just keeping up the friendly front while the evil deeds go on unseen by the general public. until it's too late.

that is against their political ideology funny how breast cancers gets billions of dollar each year prostate cancer would be lucky to get 2 million total in research funds. feminism is war against men.. and men should respond accordingly
4 :
They're doing nothing that has anything to do with feminism. I say people should advocate for increased research of ALL cancers.

I'd be interested to see whether there really are feminists who advocate for increased p/c research. Most would argue that funding is needed mostly for female issues and do their most to marginalize p/c. If these feminists exist, could you perhaps supply some evidence as this is ground-breaking news.

NO.
