Hey lovelies ❤️

Welcome to my blog 🤗

Yesterday was No Bra Day all across the world, a day that is set aside to create Awareness for Breast Cancer every October. Women were encouraged to go braless to create awareness on how to identify the symptoms of breast cancer by conducting self examination.
However, the awareness was intentionally or unintentionally misinterpreted by a lot of thoughtless men and women in the society who used the opportunity to promote, share and post uncensored photos on social media
It is quite unfortunate that if the hash tag #nobraday is searched on social media so many of the results have little or nothing to do with creating awareness for breast cancer. Some are just photographs of half nude women who are topless and putting their nipples on display.
Nevertheless, there are few people who understood the assignment. They ensured that they passed the message the right way by making use of graphics and infographics on the right way to examine the breast for signs and symptoms of breast cancer.
Medical experts recommend that regular self examination of the breast should always be carried out because the early symptoms of breast cancers are often felt by the hand.
Some of the notable signs of breast cancers include: change in the shape or size of the breast resulting from swelling or painful feel. Nipple discharge which could be in form of blood, milk or water from a non breastfeeding mother needs urgent attention.
Thank you for your time lovelies.

I think we are too hyper sensitive about breasts. By being so uptight about them too is part of what pushes them to be sexualized. Even in some of your families lifetimes women when around topless here in Africa and no one was seriously wronged by it. We live in a climate that does not require such clothes but they have been pushed upon everyone for decency sake by puritan christians an capitalism. Lets not get so uptight about the bodies that we were born into this world in.
Another nigerian sister has taken the other side of your argument. This is what is great about blurt though because we all are allowed to have our voice and put our thoughts out there.

I have gone through @debbie-ese's post and it just shows how insensitive people have become about body parts especially the female breasts
Putting up naked girls out there on a day that is meant to celebrate cancer survivors and to enlighten people about the symptoms and signs of breast cancer is alarming.
We've sexualised everything.
Well written @debbie-ese and thanks for the mention @leifasaur
