The fact that she said those words when she was likely high on a cocktail of amphetamines doesn’t make them any less true.

Why Does America Love Gossiping About Young, Drug-Using Women Like Cat Marnell?



Glad someone had the guts to say that. Women who use drugs are one of the most harshly criticized groups of people in society. Sure it may be their disruptive antics that shine them in the spotlight, but most are merely looking to have their unique (and often talented) voices heard. 

Their roller-coaster lives make them unique, and they may seem like they are starving for attention, but maybe all they want is a real chance to be heard.

“They are out there, but they’re not talking.”, Greta Gaines wrote in a recent AlterNet article. 

Women who use drugs are quickly scandalized in the tabloids as reckless party girls whose self-abandon is destroying both their personal and professional lives.

Perhaps there's more to the story than meets the critical eyes of society...

"Don't put me in a box. Unless it's a hot box"

Maybe one day these unique voices will be heard and open up a few more peoples eyes to the diverse culture of talented women our nation. Drug users and sober females alike.
