I was listening to a medical report on CNN this morning and suddenly it occurred to me that announcers almost always use the phrase "prostate cancer in men," or "prostate problems in men." Why do they have to specify that these problems occur in men? How many women in history have ever experienced prostate problems? Isn't the fact that a disorder occurs with the prostate be a sufficient clue that the sufferer is male?
This is not like breast cancer, which while rare in men, does happen from time to time. There is a 100% chance that any normal woman doesn't have a prostate. Hell, most abnormal ones don't have them either. So what's the deal?

I suspect this is to keep hospital emergency rooms from being flooded with hypocondriac trailer-trash Jerry Springer wannabe women complaining about their prostates...
