gmonkey42Following on from my post here: http://gmonkey42.livejournal.com/620720.html
there's an article on Salon with more information about how Breast Cancer Awareness has replaced real feminism in the minds of a lot of people:

It also makes the excellent point that needs to be made far more often, that HRT and radiation (like the X-rays used in mammograms!) can actually CAUSE breast cancer. People act like cost is the only factor against mammograms and it's not.
