nah, I see your point — I scrolled down after I posted that and saw that you'd already addressed that with other commenters, so sorry to add to the seeming dogpile.

well, people don't mention maya angelou's sex work because they have trouble reconciling that with their image of her now, which is different (and problematic).

if she were a doctor or a lawyer, though, would that make the headline? it might make it in the article as an aside, but I doubt the story would be 'MMA Fighter Assaults Lawyer Ex-Girlfriend.' her profession wouldn't factor into it. it shouldn't be hidden, but it shouldn't be the focus of the story, which many…

you seemed confused! always glad to help out a fellow commenter.

sweetheart, there's a difference between unsavory conversation and screeching, and if you don't get that, don't impose yourself on the general public.
