Bubble Gum Pink or Mauve



Why booby pink?
Why is the breast cancer awareness color pink?
Is it for the mental connection to the average white woman's breast color?
Is is because pink is a symbol for femininity?
Is it because that is the color of our noses after we've been crying when we first find that lump?
Is it because that is the color of our cheeks after we have been wearing nothing but a thin gown in a 68-degree room?
Is it because we are supposed to be cheered up by the color after a dreadful experience, at least for some?
Is it because it is the same color of the walls in solitary confinement in prisons to calm down the prisoners, and it should have the same effect on us in the doctor's office?

Why not purple?
