I have the same thoughts you do, when I think of "all men" as the same who "don't care."

Then, when I think about my hubby, who I have first-hand knowledge that he genuinely cares, my answer changes: possibly (some/most) men are not weighing in on women's health issues, because it's kind of a darned-if-you-do, darned-if-you-don't for them. They are really between a rock and a hard place: if men did not agree with women on a particular women's health issue, then they would be told that their opinion doesn't really count, because how could a man possibly know what's best for women, anyways? And, if they are very opinionated and outspoken...then watch out! Honestly, they are probably feeling backed in a corner, and this is probably a one-sided issue, as there are not as many men's health advocacy groups as there are for women and other minorities.

So, some/many men may care, and feel that they are providing support by supporting the women who are supporting women's health publicly. ha ha--make sense?
