Pinkwashing and inappropiate facebook posts

Most of the time I can ignore an inappropriate facebook post or a stupid breast cancer game. This one I could not and I have taken it from picture from Tales of a Broken Boobie facebook page. I was completely disgusted by some of the pictures and posts that I have seen on facebook lately all in the name of breast cancer awareness. Including the picture below. I have also seen a woman’s big breasts in a profile picture stating that she supports breast cancer and I am sure that if I posted my one breast and stated the same thing I would offend somebody. This month should not be about the sexual side of breast but the side that helps someone with breast cancer. I am sure that if a male had testicular cancer they would not be setting their balls free in the name of support. It is just wrong. plain wrong. Agree with me or not agree with me but this is my opinion and I am stating out there. I also shared the below picture on my facebook page and called out someone on my friends list although I didn’t call him out by name I did post it right after he posted the original picture. I hope my point got across. Please remember what you are trying to do when you are posting something or buying something. Are you helping or hurting someone.
