Replying to Thoughts about Movember- Could be controversial.

timmi:
Hey guys, I'm just bringing this up, maybe playing devils advocate a bit. I'm all for supporting the cure for cancer so don't get me wrong.

Remember about a year ago when all the girls put their bra colour as their facebook status, and it was some big inside joke? It has happened again a few times this year as well with purses or something.

Anyway, when that happened there was a lot of talk on here about how stupid it is, and how women aren't actually doing anything by it. The line someone used that stuck in my mind was "Doing by not doing" so doing something easy to make yourself feel like you're supporting it.

I kinda feel like Movember is in the same boat. I mean, it is a lesser known form of cancer than breast cancer, so perhaps straight awareness is important with it.

What do you guys and girls think? I mean support of it seems to be fairly unanimous.

By the way, if this thread turns into a shitstorm I'm abandoning it.
