Male privilege is the sexualization of Breast Cancer awareness.
THIS
it reminds me of what Randall Munroe said:
“The frustrating thing about the “Save the Boobies” campaign and similar things (like the “Booberday” meme going around G+) is that they get it exactly backward. Often, the point of breast cancer treatment is to destroy some or all of the boobies in order to save the woman.
Saying that we should work to cure this disease because it threatens breasts is really upsetting. For starters, it suggests that women are worth saving because they’re attached to breasts, rather than the other way around. But worse, it tells any woman who’s had a mastectomy to try to save her life that she’s lost the thing that made people care about her survival. What a punch in the stomach.”

This is also why I proudly wear my Fight Like a Girl shirt. When my sister and a friend were both battling breast cancer (one won, one sadly did not) I wore that shirt not just with pride, but with deep conviction.
