The Argon Kitten

My aunt lost her battle with breast cancer this past October - and there is one thing that bothered her more than almost anything- and it was all the breast cancer ‘awareness’ and pink ribbons and all that bull shit. She hated it.

vivaciousmissaudacious:

Just about every woman on my mom’s side has had breast cancer, including an uncle. As a result, I’ve needed mammograms ever since I was a relatively young. I also HATE pink products “for breast cancer.” I have even seen roadside TRASH CANS that are entirely pink, with a ribbon embossed on each side. 

I like this image because it is a simple truth. The absurd idea that by buying stuff, you will save women’s lives is rendered exceptionally absurd when actual funding for a tangibly life saving procedure is removed.
