It's Breast Cancer Awareness Day at school next week and ds (7) has been told he has to wear pink. Now I know I risk being flamed for gender stereotyping my children but he has nothing pink. He wouldn't wear anything pink. Do I really have to buy something pink just so he can wear it for that day (his suggestion of red and white stripes was rejected by his teacher)? I'm not totally sold on the pinkification of breast cancer anyway and am not sure how the school is planning to raise awareness. If they can do it in an age appropriate and sensitive way, fine. If it's in a vague fbook "we're raising awareness by being aware of awareness" way I'd rather they didn't bother. AIBU?
