"I think we're all plenty aware of breast cancer now. What about lung cancer, which kills more women than breast cancer? Or colon cancer, which kills more men than breast cancer kills women? Or heart disease, which kills more of everyone?
Why don't they have massive awareness campaigns? Oh yeah, they don't involve boobs, and don't sell product. You know what cures terminal diseases? It's not awareness. It's money, and focused, coordinated, research programs. Not pink ribbons, status updates about where you keep your purse, or thinly veiled marketing campaigns involving pink boxes. The cure is just as far away after you don your pink ribbon as before. This awareness nonsense is about you feeling good about yourself, and companies making money. My mother has terminal breast cancer. And all these pink ribbons, silly status updates and breast cancer branded everything just trivialize the fact that I'm going to lose her to it."
