Why is breast cancer the cause du jour for women when heart disease kills many, many more?

You know, the pink ribbons and such, Baseball players wearing pink for a day and looking ridiculous, etc. Shouldn't women be wearing different color ribbons and marching for a cure for heart disease, since it kills far, far more women than breast cancer does? It can't possibly be that heart disease is suffered by both women and men that heart disease doesn't get its due, can it?

I think women like the female-only aspect of breast cancer.
