Shug's illness--Community reacts

Celie's church thinks that Shug becomes ill through sexual acts.  They label her with the "woman disease", but what is so ironic is that men can get the disease she has as well.  It was just easier to label her with it and allow the men to get away with it because that was more acceptable in their community.  After all of this happens Shug goes back to performing and all of the people that had called her names and labeled her were willing to take her back as admiring fans of her talent.
