Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men, and more men die from prostate cancer, than women die from breast cancer. From a page on the Prostate Cancer UK website:
Age
Prostate cancer mainly affects men over 50, and your risk increases as you get older. The average age for men to be diagnosed with prostate cancer is between 65 and 69 years. If you are under 50, your risk of getting prostate cancer is very low. Men under 50 can get it, but it isn’t common.
If you’re over 50 and you’re worried about your risk of prostate cancer, you might want to ask your GP about tests for prostate cancer. If you’re over 45 but have a higher risk of prostate cancer – because you have a family history of prostate cancer or you’re a black man – you might want to talk to your GP too.
I would urge men over 50 (45, if you’re a black man) to have annual PSA (prostate specific antigen) blood tests, on the NHS. My own latest results are here (I’ve been having tests since 2014, when I was 56). It’s a small thing to have done every year, to put your mind at rest.

Our thanks to Douglas for this:
Does the rot never stop? I was once a proud and active member of the Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA). I can look at the range of proper draught beers in pubs today and know that I played my part in keeping the market there and encouraging choice for consumers.
But CAMRA is no longer about choice. Now they are banning beers which “feature sexist names or imagery.” Whose standards are they employing to determine what is sexist or offensive? Obviously not the consumer’s. Even a name as innocuous as Dizzy Blonde for a light, strong bitter is outlawed as CAMRA convert into the campaign to limit consumer choice.
Abigail Newton, national organiser at CAMRA, said that each of the 1,000 beers, ciders and perries on sale at the Great British Beer Festival had been checked to ensure they adhered to CAMRA’s “charter and code of conduct, which details its commitment to inclusivity and diversity”.
I’m so glad that I am already no longer a member!
Perhaps this is something that Philip Davies, in his new role as beer champion, can help sort out. Consumer choice is about letting consumers choose, not about dictating to them how they are permitted to think while they try to enjoy a drink.
As the editor of Continental Telegraph says:
Banning something that appeals to some slice of that market is thus defeating the point and object of that very market’s existence. Sure, lots of women won’t buy a sexist beer. Some will, as will some men. The aim and art of the whole exercise being to allow those who won’t not to, those who will to.

Our thanks to Douglas for this. Douglas writes:
My comment (on Dissenter at least: Metro doesn’t seem to take comments on this article):
The headline would appear to be a lie. It was not men’s rights activists who made this anti-bagspreading chair. I suspect Baker and her editor know this, since they avoid saying who it was that actually made it.
That is has some extremely vague similarity to a sex device (so do a lot of things, from carrots to bedposts) hardly makes the concept a ‘fail’ as claimed. Impractical, perhaps, and probably as uncomfortably unwelcome as a chair designed to crush a man’s parts.
It belittles The Metro to enter into the feminist war on men in this nasty fashion. If there really is a problem with people not having wide enough seats to sit comfortably, the solution is not to belittle men, nor to denigrate those men and women who try to get men the same human rights enjoyed by women.
If the metro cares for all passengers, surely it should be arguing for comfortable seats and insisting that people move bags onto the floor or onto overhead racks so that everyone can sit down.

Helen Lewis, 36, is a British journalist, and former deputy editor of the left-wing cat litter tray liner, the New Statesman. She regularly appears on the BBC, as a “progressive” commentator. The Atlantic has just published this garbage. Anti-feminism is becoming mainstream, and people like Ms Lewis are becoming ever more ridiculous in their doomed opposition to it. An extract:
The idea that feminism is decadent, and is destroying Western civilization; the idea that women’s natural role is to have children, and to be subservient to men; the idea that strong men are needed to save the world through violence—all of these arguments are found across extremist websites, and in the words of shooters themselves. Anti-feminist rhetoric is a powerful gateway to violent white nationalism, and it is calculated to appeal to the demographic overwhelmingly responsible for mass shootings: young white men.
The conflation of anti-feminism with “shooters” is beyond contemptible, but we’re going to see a lot more of it. The article says nothing about the fatherlessness of the majority of “shooters”, of course.

William Collins has just posted this. Regrettably the price of his recently-published book The Empathy Gap has had to be increased from the original price of £19.95 to £25.00, in order to make it properly available on Amazon’s UK site (price increases of a similar size will take place on other Amazon sites, and at other retailers). We’re expecting the higher price to be implemented at some point in the coming week. Until that happens, UK residents can order it for £19.95 by sending the sum via PayPal to me at mb1957@hotmail.co.uk (the book was published by my modest publishing concern LPS publishing). Delivery should take around a week.
We apologise for any inconvenience caused.
Frankly, the book (almost 700 pages long) is well worth the new cover price. My review on Amazon:
William Collins is the most insightful blogger on gender issues in the world, on his website “The Illustrated Empathy Gap”. This book will tell you all you need to know about the devastating impacts of the empathy gap on men and boys directly, and on women and girls indirectly. A tour de force.
Collins gave a well-received talk at the fourth International Conference on Men’s Issues, held at Excel London in July 2018, “Men and boys in the UK: Edited lowlights”.

William Collins recently wrote a piece following his attendance at the sixth Male Psychology Conference at UCL, in London, held in June. Many tips of the hat to the indefatigable Tom for filming and editing the 23 presentations – here. A HUGE amount of work. All the videos shown as being loaded in the past four weeks (as at today’s date) are from the conference, other than the video of a talk in 2018 by Glen Poole.
