More than 42 percent of Americans between the ages of 18 and 59 are infected with genital human papillomavirus [HPV], according to the first survey to look at the prevalence of the virus in the adult population.
The report [pdf], published on Thursday by the National Center for Health Statistics, found that certain high-risk strains of the virus infected 25.1 percent of men and 20.4 percent of women. These strains account for approximately 31,000 cases of cancer each year, other studies have shown.
Two vaccines are effective in preventing sexually transmitted HPV infection, and researchers said the new data lend urgency to the drive to have adolescents vaccinated.

Hey man, guys can get genital warts, and herpes, and elephantiasis of the scrotum. Images are readily available online if you don't believe me, although I'll leave it up to you to search for examples -- But I'll tell ya this: You know what the Blue Waffle is? Just imagine what the equivalent of that for men is, and you can find it online.
Men can also be punished for being pigs, practicing poor impulse-control, and dipping their dicks into the town bicycle while slobbering drunk at a party. And, before somebody mentions that women are the ones who get pregnant and have the babies, men similarly pay there too -- getting raped out the ass with child-support. Get divorced in the military, and if you were with your spouse for 10 years, then she automagically gets half of your retirement. Thanks Reagan!
"Family Values" are what is destroying the family unit, and that is grossly and unfairly offsetting the difficulty of raising a kid with condemning the father to debt slavery and having the deck stacked against him in family court. Women become harpies when left to their own devices without the iron hand of a man able to lay down the law. And that's precisely what utopias like California do -- cripple the ability for wholesome familes to self-regulate.

If anyone needed more proof that Snopes and Wikipedia are prog-converged:
Whatever the origins of the photo, “blue waffle disease” is a bit of fiction and not a known symptom or result of any type of STD-related infection.

The disease has been confirmed as false.
