Girls...would you laugh at testicular cancer because you can't empathize?

Question

So a kid I knew from high school has testicular cancer, he's my age...only 20, he has lost one testicle so far..I'm not sure of his condition now...and me and 5 friends were talking about it when we hung out this weekend...the 2 girls of the group laughed..zero of the guys did...including me...what gives? If guys laughed at breast cancer wed probably all get a hard kick to the groin from those two..and no cancer is funny...I would never ever ever laugh at a girl who got breast/ovary cancer..just  Because I can't get cancer in those areas doesn't mean I think its funny..geeezzz...

Wow. Those girls are awful. Cancer of ay kind is horrendous. My mom went through a 2 year battle with breast cancer and won thankfully, but it took her to the lowest places I've ever seen her go. She had both breasts removed in addition to chemo. She felt her femininity come into question and felt insecure because of how her body changed. It was heartbreaking to see how she hated seeing herself. Same thing for a guy with testicular cancer - his manhood becomes an issue because of popular social perceptions. I've read a lot on this topic actually and men without testicles still have a sex drive and function "normally" - they just can't get a women pregnant, which actually sounds like an advantage to me.

I'm going to just guess that those 2 are incredibly immature and giggled at the mention of testicles. When you've seen firsthand what cancer can do to someone you love...you can't ever trivialize it that way. I just hope those 2 never have to experience watching a loved one go through a cancer battle and learn what I'm saying the hard way.

It's cause women are stupid and have no concept of reality. Especially in groups, one will start giggling and then others will join in without having any clue what's supposed to be funny.

Hell no, that's horrible. Maybe the girls felt awkward about the subject or were just being rude. Most sensible women wouldn't even so much as smiled about that.

Cancer is never funny.

No I would never laugh at that. Cancer isn't funny at all. Someone should have slapped those girls.

Hell no.  That is unbelievably cruel.  Proof that girls don't always mature faster then boys.

Possibly because they thought of it merely as "ball cancer" and not as "dreadful deadly disease of pain and death". Empathizing with its pain was not their first reaction. Maybe it would have been the second.
