21. One of my female colleagues is in a permanent snit about "Save the Tatas" too
She out on the fringe, even for me. Her basic position is that is that womens issues are off limits to men, and that breast cancer is a womens issue and therefore off limits to men.

I pointed out to her that breast cancer is also found in men. Also as a man who's wife died of breast cancer and who has several daughters, I had at least as big of a dog in the hunt as she did. She was not pleased with my response, but she quit being so noisy...
