Comments on: Save The Boobies http://britisshameless.com/2009/10/save-the-boobies/ I'm nothing but a brash and impetuous girl striving to be true to myself while searching for somewhere to belong, someone to love, and a better version of me.

I even submitted some pictures as well (though I’m as easy to identify as you are). <br /><br />April - It is possible for there to be body part oriented campaigns that don’t objectify women; it’s just not very common (most campaigns center on the male gaze). It’d be similar to having a campaign to cure sickle cell disease cause we really need blacks in basketball (though this was a very crude example - not to mention it’s not only blacks that get sickle cell disease, but that’s a common misconception so I ran with it). Yes the campaign may ultimately lead to good, but in doing so it also reinforces negative stereotypes. Agree with you on all fronts Brit.

I have always seen it as that organization trying to be progressive. Clearly saving the people behind the body part is the main goal here. I don't see it as an effort to save that body part but to raise awareness on breast cancer and how prolific it is. And honestly wouldn't most of us rather have our boobs? Given the choice I'll choose my life but if there was any way to save them I would do it. Well I have never taken it that way at all.
