Ashley Judd: feminism's latest spokesperson?

Ashley Judd Slaps Media in the Face for Speculation Over Her ‘Puffy’ Appearance

Though ostensibly another celebrity confrontation with the media regarding slanderous comments made about her post-forty appearance, actress Ashley Judd effectively argues that this personal vilification symbolizes the larger problem of subliminal misogyny that still persists in North America.
She states: 
The insanity has to stop, because as focused on me as it appears to have been, it is about all girls and women. In fact, it’s about boys and men, too, who are equally objectified and ridiculed, according to heteronormative definitions of masculinity that deny the full and dynamic range of their personhood.
