Re: “Gender Gap”
as stated on the website, www.thelessergender.com, feminism is a gender-identity issue. it is a gender-identity issue to advocate for the little gender with the words "a woman can do anything a man can do". this is because anyone's gender is a matter of reality, and anyone's identity is merely a matter of self-understanding (or of self-misunderstanding). gender-identity is a matter of the understanding (or misunderstanding) of one's own gender. "a woman can do anything a man can do" is a gender-identity issue because it is based on (mis)understandings of the female gender. it is for this reason that i understand feminism as a gender-identity issue. a woman simply cannot do anything a man can do, this point is justified by every gender-based physical competition (olympics, military requirements, hot dog eating competitions, weightlifting competitions, etc)...as well as the gender-based competitions that have slipped my mind.
why does the wannabee wear high-heeled shoes and shoulderpads?
woman = womb+man
Re: “Tables on the Green”
Well done Chef Chad! Had the pleasure of dining on his fine cuisine while on St. George Island and again in Atlanta. Chef Chad creates those dishes you talk about years later an wish that he was nearby so you could try his latest creation. If you have a chance to eat at Tables on the Green , do so.

Great show. I wasn't familiar with Thoreau but found it to be very entertaining. Great job Throughline Theatre!
Re: “Arts Fest public works fail to fully exploit the rivers.”
Burying "Floating Echo" under the bridge---contrary to the advertisements for it before the festival---weakens the image and defeats the installation's purpose. Furthermore it runs against the artist's own statement: "Through the statue one can see the nature, landscape and architecture around the water. Its subtle presence embraces and reflects the surroundings, both natural and man-made."
Re: “Music therapists do a lot more than sing”
Andy, it was a pleasure meeting and talking with you last week resulting in a thorough and fine article about music therapy. Thanks so much!

Re: “Health Barrier: From insurance coverage to simply finding a doctor, health care presents challenges for the transgender community”
It's about time the wold class medical city of Pittsburgh addresses this much alienated population. The "T" in LGBT is not silent - only ignored for far too long. Medical professionals please stand up. Metro and Persad can't continue to do this alone!!!!!!1

Re: “Tables on the Green”
I recommend the rice and beans shrimp soup! Especially on a cold night, its a must. Also good service, family owned and fully stocked beer selections and wine.
Re: “Museum Fires 'British Six-pounder'”
Always nice to see people passionate about 18th century history bring it to life through demonstrations/events like this.
Re: “Forgive Us Our Debts”
in agreement with marcia gallo... had a family emergency after a year filled with medical bills, i've worked at the same company for seven years, lived at the same address for five years, make a fair income just in a crap situation and needed a stop-gap. i completed the online form disclosing sensitive information and someone called me up asking for months worth of pay stubs, bank statements, and other information. one pay stub would be okay, but months worth? i'd already provided them with a phone number for the company that does automated employment/salary verification. and there is no reason for them to need to see my checking account activity. he was entirely patronizing and then abrasive when i said it seemed very odd that he wasn't using the information provided as verification, and that there was no mention of needing this information on the website. and now i'm left with an uneasy feeling that they have my personal information and they seem like a scam. i do not recommend at all. i'd rather go to a loanshark... at least you know what you're dealing with.
