I have no problem with the cause, really, it's the sort of... flaunty way that some people get into causes, is all. When they're not just wanting to help someone they want to look so giving and wonderful for being in it. Or point out they have the money to donate, as donations that are cheap (but something!) tend to be looked down upon.
I mean, I know you're the complete opposite of that, but the eco-yuppies can be really annoying about such things. When a normal person with a decent income feels like they can't donate much, then you're missing the spirit of helping people. It's likely not the charity's fault, either, just the hey big spender attitude that can happen. If you've got the money to drop $90 on a necklace and that's somehow a deal, what do you pay for other things? Are they always benevolent and for charity or is it part of your bottled water fund?
And it's ok to be a dirty feminist. XD Like I said, I've nothing wrong with the cause, it's a clever idea.
