No, no: it was a good point Blerg Blerg is the Werg! All women empowerment is a cause for celebration!

crazier ‘n u: I appreciate your kind words, and, in actuality, I have found the commenters on Jezebel to be some of the most informed, kindest, wittiest, and intelligent people around! It is the reason I am here, right now, instead of doing the million far more pressing tasks in my life. Thank you for your compliment,…

I have no quarrel with this. It is the vast gulf between socioeconomic divisions that frustrates me. And do actresses encounter sexism? Well, welcome to the club of pretty much all professions. And I may be bitter but I think Jennifer Lawrence’s paycheck has about as much to do with my own as Donald Trump’s has to do…

Hmmm.... let me check.....nope; women earning a decent paycheck has not made me a Marxist. I simply wish that MORE women would earn a decent paycheck, and that the values were not so skewed, here. The rich become obscenely rich, and the poor work two jobs and still cannot make ends meet.

You are adorable.

Okay, so I am in a bad mood, granted, but this is so far out of my ken as an ordinary citizen that I am not feeling it. I understand that women actors in Hollywood are up in arms over smaller paychecks than their male counterparts are granted and well they should be, but how does this impact us as a whole? So Jennifer…

I wouldn’t worry about that. Truly. I’m more surprised that anyone took you seriously.

I laughed. Don’t worry; the humour came through.

I’m so sorry. I also had a coup/contrecoup brain injury that impacted my frontal and prefrontal cortex with similar cognitive issues. The only two things I will say is: the brain can heal more than you know. I had no health insurance at the time, and so zero rehabilitation; and the stress did as much harm as the…

Performance art? Perhaps the artist’s vision of others as herself, and lack of fixed notions of identity (endlessly morphing) will be her underlying raison d’etre. I wonder what will happen with all of this....

Were I to write a blog about my lifestyle, you would all be asleep in no time! A Luddite isn’t so exotic! It is simply shorthand for someone who eschews technology.

Yes; if that reporter actually even exists. And/or if Ms. Dolezal simply lifted her name, and wrote the piece. The article has been taken off of the site; so there is definitely something happening there!

Yes; and when I wrote that, on some level, this was just truly very sad: I did not necessarily mean sad for her (though it is, and I do feel that) but the whole avoidable situation (Emma Goldigger wrote about this much more eloquently than I ever could: see any of her posts over mine). I agree with you that she could…

They have also eradicated the bio of the supposed author. I’m not convinced that it wasn’t Dolezal who penned the piece herself. Perhaps I should not say so but I have a sneaking suspicion.

Thank you for letting me know! So glad we got it up before it disappeared!

Yes on all points. Yes. Yes.

It’s a self-portrait of Salvador Dalí , the surrealist painter...

You are such a smart cookie, Emma Goldigger! You truly are.
