And You Just Don't Get It....

Holy mother of all fucked uppedness!  This image has been popping up in my news feeds since Pinktober began. 

And also this one, which is pretty much the same, but with those Pink words added.


(WARNING: Full on RANT about to commence)

Seriously??  Even though the thought of "No Bra Day" is sooooo offensive on it's own to soooooooo many of us who have been through it & to those who continue to live with bc....October 13?  The Official METASTATIC bREAST cANCER AWARENESS DAY????  And people want to seriously make this a "no bra day"? To "Support breast cancer" ?? (Remember, I never capitalize those words....).  I dunno about you, but I sure as hell have ZERO interest in supporting fucking bc. How bout let's support some research for the CURE for bc, or the prevention of bc and cancer OF ALL KINDS

The last thing I want to do is walk around without my damn bra on so the whole world can see that I now have a breast & a half....one nipple is now waaaaaay up here & the other is waaaaaaaay down there....or showcase that I do still have some breasts when so many others had to sacrifice theirs so that they might live. Come on now people!! 

Copacetic? 'Fraid not.

Saw these graphics on Tumblr the other day. Insensitive is the word I'd use.

I feel the same way you do about this. I simply ignored this one because I remember by the time I got to the 13th, I was already out of energy to fight back. Once again, I think society deals best with fantasies and denial. No one wants to see pain or the truth about this disease. I am not sure what the logic is behind this, except people would rather think of sex than curing a disease that's killing over 40,000 people a year. INCONSIDERATE AND SELFISH! Not to mention lack of empathy for those in pain. UGH!

Exactly right, Rebecca! I did see much less of this, this year. But it still doesn't change the fact that too much sexualization surrounds bc & it makes me sick. Thanks for adding your thougts here. xx

I'm with you. I have one big breast and one little one and I don't think the people out there want to see my lopsided self. That said I go bra-less all the time at home, rarely putting one on until I'm going out. What does that say about me. I don't give a rats ass what my husband thinks about my mismatched boobs? I guess so. LOL I want to know why my cancer breast doesn't grow like the other one when I gain weight. It doesn't sweat either. So many questions that nobody answers.

LOL Paula!!! Yeah, I apparently don't give a rat's ass what O thinks of my scars & lopsidedness either! But I think I might have a thought on the non sweating boob...my underarm on the cancer side no longer sweats or gets stinky...I assume that's because the lymph nodes are gone...so, maybe you had some nodes removed from around the breast maybe? But yeah, the gimpy boob doesn't seem to be affected by weight gain or loss, or even gravity like the other one. xx
