Romia, there's a men's page here:

In the US there's a male bc week held in October in most states. BCNA held a nation first male bc day last year and I'm hoping they'll build on it again, this year.
You're right that the pink is an issue insofar as it reinforces the disease as female only in the community. While we had success here last year reversing TG he Beacon name change to Pink Lady, we realise how big the Rask is to add some blue, just a small bit, to all the pink around here. Likely it would interfere with revenue raising to have us up featured too prominently. Meanwhile we're diagnosed later and our prognosis is poorer.
A mate and I have drawn up a manifesto to ask for some changes to the pink culture: www.malebc.org/manifesto
