Women's Rights Update: Football Players for Boobs

I am sure everyone knows by now that October is breast cancer awareness month. What you might not realize is that women have made some significant progress in our fight for equal rights this month. That is right, the NFL has embraced boob cancer. You might think I am being snarky but I am not. I am impressed. It wasn't an easy thing for the white kids to allow the black kids to come and play in the same league....and now they have united for boobs! And they aren't just talking the talk....they are walking the walk too....in pink!!! I love it. A group of men with arguably the most macho image on the planet are wearing pink as part of their uniform. It just goes to show you that in then end...we may make less money and take longer to be promoted, we may put up with blatant and nuanced harassment at our jobs based on our sex, we aren't technically allowed on the front lines of war (though where the front line in wars these days is located is debatable and women are serving and dying in combat even if the men won't say it out loud), we might be harder on ourselves about job performance than men are on each other, we might be called "baby" or "honey" twice a day by men, and we may pay more for cars...but we have boobs. And even the most manly men of them all will wear pink in honor of boobs. We rule.
