While image isn’t really everything, it certainly appears so when
it’s all people are allowed to see. What follows is a list of 10
individuals who have Dr. Jekyll images that obscure a Mr. Hyde reality.
1. Alice Walker
While The Color Purple author and feminist icon masquerades
as a champion of women, the woman she should have cared about most in
her life, her own daughter, Rebecca, she viewed as a “millstone” around
her neck.
As Rebecca reveals,
her mother called her birth a “calamity” and would leave her in the
care of others or to fend for herself while she was still a child. Her
mother drummed into her head that motherhood was slavery, but was happy
when she became sexually active at 13 — Alice fancied it “empowering.”
And while she was “supportive” when Rebecca had an abortion at age 14,
this changed when Rebecca decided to become a mother as an adult. In
fact, Rebecca’s rejection of the culture of death led to a spat that
ended when, writes Rebecca, “she wrote me a letter saying that our
relationship had been inconsequential for years and that she was no
longer interested in being my mother. She even signed the letter with
her first name, rather than 'Mom'.”
But, hey, I’m sure Alice Walker has read It Takes a Village.
2. Alfred Kinsey
It’s not just that this bug researcher turned self-proclaimed human-sexuality expert was a scientific fraud.
