Having now read your article and subsequently the comments, I am a little perturbed that folks have come out mean and nasty when you were just voicing YOUR opinion. Isn't that the beauty of Medium?

I think the point of your story that the Anthony supporters missed was that normal doesn't exist because it is subjective and to most incomprehensible. It defies logic, makes no sense to what we have been brought up to think is sensible. Makes sense? LOL Probably not.

As for the negative comments - I am not a fan of them; if you want to say something negating the story be diplomatic instead of aggressive please.

You raise some great points. I have a daughter who defies normalcy with her fashion brand and am tired of people preaching their version of normalcy to her. They demonize her just because of the way she looks.

They've learned at their young age to negate the hate and plod on. There will always be haters. The ones that actually voice their disdain on media invariably end up being the ones running away from the camera when pushed.
