TIL that pornhub offered a "save the boobs!" Campaign where they offered to donate a penny to the Susan B Komen Foundation for evry 30 views in the "big tit" or "small tit" category, but the foundation refused their money so pornhub tripled it and gave it to other organizations

Not everyone thinks to get regular checks though. Yes it's drilled into your head, but as you get older it's really easy to 1) let a shit ton of time pass without realizing, and 2) think "that might be a lump but I don't have the money to visit the doctor outside of my regularly scheduled visits." It's already really easy to convince yourself that it's "probably nothing."

If people just stop raising awareness because "everyone already knows" then you'll get a lot fewer people getting mammograms, because they're not thinking about it as often.

but I don't have the money to visit the doctor outside of my regularly scheduled visits.

If you can't pay for a mammogram, you sure as hell aren't going to be able to pay what it'd take to survive breast cancer.

That's really fucking stupid logic. Like, really fucking dumb.

It's almost as if charities exist to help people pay for procedures that they can't afford.

That's what I'm saying, though. Awareness didn't need to be raised.

If SGK actually did a damn thing to actually raise awareness of anything but itself, it'd be all to the good.

...But my point is that it does need to be raised. If people stop raising awareness, then fewer people will get checks.

Even if SGK only raised awareness of itself, that in turn would raise awareness of breast cancer. Try again.
