Point of Confusion
Possibly because of her involvement with the seventies U.K punk scene, O'Brien has occasionally been mistaken for Lucy Toothpaste,(aka: Lucy Whitman) who wrote the feminist punk fanzine Jolt, and who, like O'Brien, later wrote for the feminist magazine Spare Rib However if you look on her Myspace page she says she is Lucy Toothpaste. This is particularly curious given that she has gone on record to clarify that she isn't Lucy Toothpaste.

Famous quotes containing the words point of, point and/or confusion:
“I have proceeded ... to prevent the lapse from ... the point of blending between wakefulness and sleep.... Not ... that I can render the point more than a point—but that I can startle myself ... into wakefulness—and thus transfer the point ... into the realm of Memory—convey its impressions,... to a situation where ... I can survey them with the eye of analysis.”
—Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)
“I have not made a study of it, but believe that it is a minor point in the history of the war.”
—Jean-Marie Le Pen (b. 1928)
“The confusion of emotions with behavior causes no end of unnecessary trouble to both adults and children. Behavior can be commanded; emotions can’t. An adult can put controls on a child’s behavior—at least part of the time—but how do you put controls on what a child feels? An adult can impose controls on his own behavior—if he’s grown up—but how does he order what he feels?”
—Leontine Young (20th century)
