Why are women being guilt tripped into looking after mens testicles?

I’m not sure feminists are the demographic that ad is aimed at.

OK having said that, one of my best friend had breast cancer and it was her husband who found the lump.

Two things - when I was at secondary school - we are talking nearly 30 years ago in Canada, teenage boys and girls were shown how to check for testicular cancer, and teenage boys and girls were shown how to check for breast cancer. Would that be a good proposal? Is that acceptable?

I think the poster is the wrong message, but if I'd find a lump in dh's balls, I'd tell him no?

The poster says to get to know 'his' (whose?) balls and check them monthly, and send him to the doctor if you notice a change during the monthly check.

That is completely different from saying to people in general to say or do something if they notice any differences either way during sex, or to tell a person to check themselves regularly.

I prefer this approach aimed directly at men!

Were you dribbling menu

Enquiring minds want to know

So now we have posters up in women's bogs telling us that if we get raped on a night out it is our fault, and if our male partner gets testicular cancer it is our fault.

Are these posters put up in gay bars, the testicular cancer ones?

Fuck me! Men run the world (mostly), if they don't want to die of preventable diseases they need to take responsibility for their own health.

Dribbling rant 😁

Dribbling rant pan you really don't like women expressing their opinions do you? If you want to be a patronising offensive arse, AIBU is that way >>.

No need to feel sorry for any of us here, btw. Why don't you reserve your sorry feelings for the men who need women to "send them" to the doctor as though they aren't intelligent or responsible enough to take care of their own health?

I sure as hell won't be checking my DH's balls on a monthly basis and "sending" him anywhere. He is a grown man well able to undertake these tasks himself. Luckily he also isn't the type of man to be rude and patronising to women who state they believe men are capable of this without assistance from someone of the female sex.

I can just see it now...

'Dribbling rant'

I think we may be being too overly women focused and honest here for someone's comfort.

If your dribbling rant is what you inferred from that poster I feel sorry for you. It is clearly not an instruction for any man to demand from any women a testicular examination. It is an awareness campaign and their website has lots of useful advice.

My DH would soon notice if I had a breast lump, but that doesn't stop me regularly checking myself. In the same way I am familiar with the shape of his testicles and would tell him if they felt different. but that does not replace his own tests.

Oh look, more shit work for women to do.

It's an awareness campaign set up by survivors of testicular cancer, not a divine order from God.

Some sense of perspective maybe?

Fucks sake cant men take responsibility for anything themselves.

Their own site gives a list of changes

Pain
Heaviness
Hardness
Change in size
Lump

Asking women to take responsibility for this, when clearly it will be much more effective for the man to do it, is ridiculous. Unless she has to give a consultation too 'so have you noticed any pain recently'. I mean come on.

So men can say you must handle my balls every month and I have to have a good feel of your tits it's demanded by the experts

What about male friends etc should women check them!? Not all men have partners.

Does it need to be a female partner? With the pink and all. Gay men need to find a woman to do it?

Dads brothers uncles cousins? It doesn't say partner does it? Any man who needs checking! Should be provided with a woman to do so.

Women have to take responsibility for literally everything don't we. Fucking Eve.

That is one of the most offensive posters I have seen in a while.

I think this is a good and loving thing to do.

Fucks sake cant men take responsibility for anything themselves.

If someone finds something whilst having sex or whatever that's one thing.

But actively telking women to check their partners balls ....

As if wives girlfriends and mothers dont already have enough to do without taking on a partner's thinking for them too.

It's almost as bad as those stupid face book posts reminding us to take some time.to ourelves so we dont burn out. No offers to take over the jobs that wont get done if we decide to hit the spa

Why is everything our responsibility all the bloody time

Yes, Quentin, I know the ad was advising nagging

Isnt nagging considered domestic abuse?

can anyone point me to the poster advising men to check their partners' breasts? No?

There's just no need to mention partners. It is exclusive. Not all men HAVE partners. Better to spend the money on pushing the message to ALL men.

And the pink? Wtf? I DO appreciate that the charity has good intentions but they're very misguided in this campaign.
