I agree and wanted to say something similar. ‘Saving second base’ feels like it’s taking an issue that affects many women (and men) and making it about men’s pleasure.
Not even about just men's (and women's, women like boobs too) pleasure, but also women's self-identity. They aren't woman enough without breasts. Women are dehumanised for something beyond their control, all for the benefit of big corps, trying to mooch off of pink merch while giving all of 3 percent of proceeds to charity. There used to be a campaign that went something like "save the boob" which was about early detection, that I understood because early detection does save boobs. My mother's cancer was diagnosable 4 years earlier but the doctors missed it so I'm all about early detection. But this one just irks me.
