Saving women, not ‘boobies’: The s*xualisation of breast cancer

October - Breast Cancer Awareness Month - is just days away. For many sufferers and survivors of breast cancer, this can be a difficult time.

One reason for this is the s*xualisation of breast cancer and breast cancer ‘awareness’ campaigns – campaigns that reduce women to their breasts and equate their worth with perky, in-tact breasts, with slogans like ‘I love boobies’, ‘Save Second Base’, or ‘Save the TaTas’.

Some companies even try to justify their s*xist and exploitative treatment of women under the guise of ‘raising awareness’, or by making a token donation to a breast cancer charity.

Women experiencing breast cancer deserve to be treated with dignity, as whole people rather than a pair of breasts, and to not have their illness s*xualised and trivialised.
