What Color Is Your Bra?

Last week, I suddenly noticed that all my female Facebook friends were stating one word status update. Black. Pink. Purple. I did not get it. And I did not bother to ask. I was sure it was one of those female things- like going to the bathroom in groups.

Then this particular drama queen came out and wrote the one word. Red. She had never written a one-word status update. It was usually a long complaint about something - often something about her life. So when she wrote Red, I thought she was seeing red.

In trying to figure out what was up with her, I found out that there was a campaign to raise awareness about breast cancer. To achieve that, women were urged to state the color of their bra as their status update.

I don’t know if it worked or not. I don’t know how many women went for mammogram because of the campaign that wouldn’t have. It caused a buzz, quite alright. But was it distracting? Did women suddenly search for more information about breast cancer?

Knowing how men’s minds work, I don’t even know why it is important to let men know what color of bra women are wearing. If women want to attract the attention of men, they should have stated the size. Maybe make men pledge to donate the dollar amount of their friends’ sizes or something that crazy.

It is like leading a campaign to raise awareness about prostrate cancer by asking men to state as update the color of their briefs or their shorts. I am sure women would be more interested in the size of what is inside the brief or the short.

Whatever the outcome of the broadcast-your-bra-campaign is, the future of the social media is firmly secured. No man can easily unlock it.

For me, my beef is that I found out that some women had None as their status update. Unfortunately, no woman on my list of friends had none. It made me wonder what kind of women friends I have. How could it be that none of them had None? Are my women friends that boring? I am seriously thinking of defriending all of them.
