UK skin cancer deaths higher in men than women

  1. Almost every man I know refuses to wear sunscreen, even when I offer them some of mine. I don’t understand why, it’s not like make-up – nobody can see you have it on unless you spend all day being flash photographed.

    Anyway, wear sunscreen, everyone! Yes, even if you’re indoors, if you’re sitting near windows.

  2. – Less likely to care about sunscreen

    – More likely to work outside

    – More likely to be topless, thereby exposing more skin to the sun

    – Less likely to care about getting seemingly minor health problems (like marks on the skin) checked out by a GP

    Yep, sounds about right.

  3. I work outside a lot, have leukaemia, the leukemia drugs lower my melanin levels and my mother had skin cancer. I practically shower in factor 50 and don’t care what anyone thinks.

  4. I love how these articles blame men, whereas any health issue that disproportionately affects women claims sexism or that we need to do more for women, raise awareness, put campaigns out etc.

  5. I can hear all our mothers shouting “go outside and get some sun it won’t kill you” well turns out it will.

    My family still say open the curtains and let the sun in it’ll be good for you.

    I don’t fucking think so.

    That said i think i’ll do some independent aka google research because i believe the bbc as much as i believe EA.
