~The End

This is just a fun little superhero story.

But I don’t think I’m ever going to forget my first breast cancer patient.

That’s why when Breast Cancer Awareness day rolls around, I hope that before you get sucked into the hype you pause to think about whether or not you’re actually helping. Posting your bra color doesn’t help. Posing shirtless doesn’t help. Dressing up as a big breast doesn’t help. In fact, these efforts often actually hurt by propagating societal misconceptions that breast cancer is a women’s disease, when in fact it can happen to men—men who then feel emasculated, ashamed, and afraid to seek help, because their illness has been painted with a broad pink brush. And some of us are just plain stupid: last year, one guy scammed dozens of women into sending him naked pics for his own personal use in the name of “breast cancer.” It’s a huge corporate sales event, too, but a lot of places will make things “pink” for breast cancer awareness without actually donating any money.
