It appears some of y'all missed my point.
The point was that the OPTICS ARE BAD and may hurt Southwest's business image a WHOLE LOT MORE than a lack uniformity in the, you know, uniform. We all understand how the Social Justice Warriors operate. They will see this as a "degradation" of those affected (primarily women) and will call for protests, boycotts, and Facebook campaigns because Southwest's sexist management obviously wants women to DIE of this dreaded disease...:rolleyes: It is just a stupid BUSINESS decision. Don't mess with a socially popular "education and awareness" campaign regardless of how effective it may or may not be. |

Those of you calling it a uniform don’t seem to have a problem with the adopt a pilot ties, holiday ties, or flag ties. I’m fine with this so long as next June, the Southwest twitterverse and Facebook page isn’t covered in rainbows. |

The people buying the pink tie are not the target, they are trying to get other people to donate. Do charities give 100% of their income away? no, but it is probably more than you and I give.
This nonsense only happens in America because this country is always about "showing off" and being "Special". |

I'm less likley to donate to a cause everyone else is pimping with pins, ties and all other kind of flashy nonsense.

This is sure to draw fire but I just don’t care. Every time I see some lemming with the pink crap I get ****ed. My grandfather died of colon cancer. My dad died of colon cancer. And now I’m losing my sister to brain cancer. What makes breast cancer (which has a comparatively low death rate) so special?

maybe because it is traumatic (even when not life threatening) to some women as a loss of their "womanhood" when they get double mastectomies and that 1 out of 8 women get breast cancer at some point. If you gave me the option of skin cancer with a survivability of 90% and penis cancer with a survivability of 99%.......I think I'd choose the skin cancer and be thrilled that my penis wasn't being removed. |
This thread got a bit weird
