Breast Intentions

Claire Tully offered $10,000 to a cancer charity, but the donation was rejected because it was feared that her past career as a nude model might be offensive to other supporters.

It’s a shame that these charities felt they had to defer to potential sensitivities, because I can’t think of a better mascot for breast cancer awareness than a topless model. For every man who slobbers over those pictures, I suspect at least one woman will think: “She looks great. Running for a bus must be a nightmare but she obviously looks after those puppies and I bet she wouldn’t risk missing a check-up, or ignoring a lump or forgetting to do her regular self-examinations.” I do.

Crying “offence” and running to the nearest authority is often just a means of shutting down the expression of an opinion or a lifestyle that you don’t like, or that doesn’t suit your particular victimhood.
