re: #22 Simply Sarah

Oh, I can’t stand it. For one, I don’t think it really helps stereotypes.

More importantly, it’s big business now. You see tons of “pink products” where maybe a tiny fraction of the profit actually goes towards any research or care, with most of it just being, well, profit kept by the company selling the product. Slap some pink on it, say you’ll give $0.05 cents per sale, and welcome to the commodification of breast cancer.

I think the awareness is important. Even tho a small portion goes to the Cure. I love seeing men in pink ties and baseball players using pink bats.

I think it is doing a lot to break down some barriers. Honestly.
