Do Breast Cancer stamps sold at the post office constitute sexual discrimination at the federal level?

For those who aren't stateside, the US Postal Service sells 1st class postage stamps at a rate HIGHER than the current 1st class rate, and the proceeds in excess of the 1st class rate are distributed to Breast Cancer research organizations.

Yes, it's voluntary - you certainly aren't required to buy the stamps, but is it discriminatory to provide a mechanism for fundraising for one sex and not the other? I see plenty of women buying those stamps, and it's entirely conceivable that men would purchase stamps if somebody bothered to even print them.

Advocette, why should men HAVE to petition the US Postal Service to make stamps for men's diseases?

As a matter of Federal Law, shouldn't the USPS have either a) denied the request from Breast Cancer activists on the grounds of discrimination or b) come out with some other stamp that would mitigate the discrimination?

Now I know why no man has ever questioned this policy - as soon as you do, people think you WANT women to die of breast cancer.

Sweet Jesus, You PC people are whacked out.

I second 222 whole-heartedly on his answer. Well put.

Men can get breast cancer and are usually treated very late in the game because there is no standard for early detection as there is in women who are the predominant victims of this cancer.

However with more hormones in our food system, we can surely count on breast cancer rates among men to increase.

So it's important for all to contribute regardless of whether we do it for our mothers, sisters, or even brothers and fathers.

The reality is that the US Congress passed a law which mandated the US Postal Service produce the breast cancer stamp. The USPS really did not want to produce the stamp because they realized it was not fair to everyone else, but it was mandated by law. So if you think your illness needs a stamp, call your Congressperson, not the USPS.

Personally I would prefer people to be focused mainly on children's medical disorders more than breast cancer and/or prostate cancer.

EDIT: If women got their breasts removed to prevent breast cancer from spreading they would still be alive.
Whereas small, needy children who don't get their operations they desperately need would die!
Sorry but 36DD cup bra sizes isn't what makes women valuable! If a guy thinks good looking women with extra large bra sizes are the best trophy chicks guys can have even though these broads are stupid then he is a loser!
