I believe that the uptick in Breast Cancer is due to the ladies who loaded up on BC pills and had abortions. I buy nothing with a pink ribbon eventhough I’ve had family members die of breast cancer including my favorite Aunt and a Dear 43 year old cousin who left 4 small children behind.
The ribbons are annoying. I actually love the baby pink but will by nothing with the ribbons on them.
I am with you - I believe there is some behavioral nexus, and we really ought to admit to it and deal with that.
I like the color pink, but I don’t want to see big painted pink ribbons on my Cheerios box!
Enough with all the colored ribbons and bracelets — red for AIDS, pink for breast cancer, yellow for other cancers, and on and on and on — yecchhh!!!
I refuse to ‘wear’ or buy anything with these ‘ribbons’ attached to various illnesses or conditions. This does not mean I won’t make charitable contributions; but I have no interest in telling the world what a great humanitarian I am.
