Great post. I was a part of the Free Britney campaign (not an organizer or anything, just a voice), and I always thought Lindsay Lohan got severely mistreated. I saw the sexism and personal greed and hunger for power behind what happened to Britney, but dismissed (wrongly I guess) what happened to Lohan as just another situation where the public eats its celebrities. Of course it does do that a lot more to the female celebrities, doesn't it?
Yes! I also think Lindsay was chastised more for her public drug use as well as recovery efforts (checking into rehabs so many times). Paris and Britney did too but not as much.
As I recall she got some DUIs during a time there was a hysteria about that going on, too. I heard the negative stuff before I ever saw her in any other context, very impressed when I did see her in her element, though.
