As Breast Cancer Awareness month wraps up, Meghan Murphy, Leslie Wilken, and Laura Wood of the F Word take a look at the problematic trend of “Pinkwashing” in breast cancer campaigns and fundraisers, from carcinogenic products bearing the pink ribbon, to sexualizing the illness with “Save the Boobs” campaigns. Because there’s nothing sexy about cancer. Featuring an interview by Meghan Murphy with Breast Cancer Action’s Program Manager, Kim Irish.
