Forget the conscious uncoupling, colon cleanses, homeopathic silver room sprays and bee venom therapy - Gwyneth Paltrow says she’s close to “the common woman.”
The Oscar-winning actress has occasionally been ridiculed since debuting her lifestyle website GOOP in 2008, which promotes strange beauty treatments, expensive clothing and unusual diets. But in an interview with CNN Money, Paltrow says she can still relate to the average non-celebrity.
“I'm incredibly close to the common woman,” Paltrow says. “In that I'm a woman and I'm a mother…We all are in a physical body with beating hearts, with compassion and love."
Gwyneth Paltrow is a moron, but in her defense, the interviewer originally used
the term "common woman," not Gwyneth Paltrow. She just answered the question.

What an archaic term from the days when society was divided by birth into the common people, the nobelity and the clergery.

Quote:
Common Women: Prostitution and Sexuality in Medieval England
"Common women" in medieval England were prostitutes, whose distinguishing feature was not that they took money for sex but that they belonged to all men in common. Common Women: Prostitution and Sexuality in Medieval England tells the stories of these women's lives: their entrance into the trade because of poor job and marriage prospects or because of seduction or rape; their experiences as street-walkers, brothel workers or the medieval equivalent of call girls; their customers, from poor apprentices to priests to wealthy foreign merchants; and their relations with those among whom they lived. Through a sensitive use of a wide variety of imaginative and didactic texts, Ruth Karras shows that while prostitutes as individuals were marginalized within medieval culture, prostitution as an institution was central to the medieval understanding of what it meant to be a woman. This important work will be of interest to scholars and students of history, women's studies, and the history of sexuality.
Ugh, Queen Goop is SO relatable.
I love taking baths in purified alp mountain water, using an organic Asian mud scrub, and teaching the importance of a carb free diet just because she does it too.
One of the few role models we have left in this wicked society.
