Movember isn't a billion dollar pinkwashing scam like Komen, though. It's grassroots awareness.

Yeah, at least Movember funds don't go directly towards lobbying against using public funds for low-income mens' health.
No, I'm not talking about Planned Parenthood. Komen's lobbying wing literally believes public funds should not go to any forms of womens' health, they believe it should be handled entirely by private "charities" like themselves.
