The pink ribbon is a breast cancer solidarity symbol.
It would be great if more men wore the ribbon regularly to support the sufferers. I have actually known several men (without conspicuous man-boobs) who passed away from breast cancer -- it is not a women-only phenomenon...

片乳を握りながらやはつ笑ひ
kata-chichi o nigiri-nagara ya hatsuwarai
grasping one
of his mother's breasts --
his first smile of the year
Tr. Chris Drake
This hokku is from Issa's diary for New Year's for 1823.
It refers to Issa's infant son Konzaburo, who was born in April 1822. He greets the new year in the arms of his mother Kiku and smiles widely and auspiciously, giving Issa the impression it will be a good year for the family. Unfortunately Kiku died in June 1823 at age thirty-seven, and Konzaburo died a little less than a year later, in January 1824.

HAIKU
chilly October...
wearing a pink bracelet
for women I love
Color symbolism, in the forms of ribbons and bracelets, is pretty much apparent throughout the world, and pink has several meanings, which might be a problem for some men. My wife and several lady friends are breast cancer survivors, and it is my challenge that real men wear pink in October for the women they love.

by the river
women washing clothes-
rocking breasts
This image I got in a remote town, Dharchula, on Indo-Nepal border in the Himalayas, where beside the river Mahakali women would often come to wash their clothes.
