I believe that giving a full month to breast cancer awareness at this level of publicity is unnecessary and annoying. CMV.

Another October, another "Breast Cancer Awareness Month."  Pink ribbons everywhere (even in football), jokes about 2nd base, and arguments in my FB feed about which organizations are worth my donations based on political reasons.

According to the American Cancer Society

> "The chance of a woman having invasive breast cancer during her life is about 1 in 8. The chance of dying from breast cancer is about 1 in 36. Breast cancer death rates have been going down. This is probably the result of finding the cancer earlier and better treatment. Right now there are more than 2.8 million breast cancer survivors in the United States."

With the success of past breast cancer awareness months, I think we've reached the point of saturation, and that we no longer need to go a full month.  Or, we get our friends in the media to either tone down breast cancer awareness or ramp up the other causes in other months.

As currently done, breast cancer awareness month is overkill.

There's no central authority on what causes are allocated to each month. These events are not even National Holidays. This is an advertising scheme ran by a charity. Obviously it's working, but they have no official claim to October, or a responsibility to promote other causes in other months. 

Basically whoever is making those Pink Ribbons is deciding to focus a bulk of their advertising on October, and they're being very successful. That said, they're a single issue cause and you can't blame them for their success or expect them to spread publicity to other issues. 


Also Breast Cancer is not a single gender issue.
