Sorry for lack of posts recently.
Once of the key themes expecting to come out of tomorrow's National Conference for Men and Boys is the need for men and men's groups to better work together or form groups in their local area like the Men's Network has in Brighton.
Part of the reason for this is that we cannot rely on the government, councils, NHS, Equalities Commission etc to do anything to support men in today's Britain. They are content for men to become the Second Sex. This is why we need to do things for ourselves or to lobby groups to extend their services to include men as well.
Last week, a new campaign by healthtalkonline about men's breast cancer was important with 70 men dying a year from this. It at least starts to put it on the agenda when it is clearly being ignored. The videos will encourage men to come forward.
As Professor Kate Hunt of the council's social and public health sciences unit rightly said: "We need some blue in those pink bows to remind everyone men get breast cancer, too."
