I was appalled by...I'm so glad you posted this! I was appalled by the bra color game. Of COURSE all the guys knew EXACTLY what the colors mean. And if the average guy – even a nice guy – sees a women post "red lace" (which I saw more than once), his first thought is "red lace bra." It is not, "Right, breast cancer kills; we need to do more to find a cure, and support women who are suffering from it." Even if they go on to think about breast cancer, the first thought is "bra."<br /><br />Breasts are already way over-sexualized. Why would we want to more closely associate breast cancer with sexual titillation? This is why I will not support any "Save the Tatas" or "I <3 boobies" campaigns.<br /><br />Think I'm being silly? One of my coworkers had breast cancer last fall. She was out for six weeks, but we couldn't tell anyone why she was out because she was so embarrassed that it was BREAST cancer. And she was so uncomfortable about it that she would only give updates to the female co-owner or me. And that is so very sad.Mirawynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04725439249056135733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-199002624224340279.post-41696271031898705282011-09-04T08:21:15.157-04:002011-09-04T08:21:15.157-04:00Thank you so much for this.

I truly thought she was pregnant. So did all her "friends" ...and they called her "slut," "whore," and whole bunch of other names. I guess she found out who her real friends are, but she finally had to type in all caps, "LEAVE ME ALONE!!!! IT'S A GAME!!! I'M NOT REALLY PREGNANT!!!!!!" Her mom also received calls from her friends who thought her daughter was pregnant too. You're right...this "game" isn't worth lying and deceiving people over. <br /><br />Jo in Mississippi (found you through Pinterest!)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-199002624224340279.post-41643544539147105842011-09-04T07:51:24.270-04:002011-09-04T07:51:24.270-04:00Anonymous - According to a recent Facebook post I ...Anonymous - According to a recent Facebook post I made about this, there are 94 other men and women who chose to comment/like it who all feel it's not something to "chill out" about.
