How she has advanced and advertised her causes in the past can be seen in the photo at right and at this link.
The left is howling how unfair it is for the Republicans to be using against her her nude sex scenes in films and her nude photo spreads in magazines.
She's not even a candidate, but Republicans just can't quit attacking Ashley Judd

Remember the endless belittling attacks on Sarah Palin,
reducing her to a babe and her candidacy to a comic, below-the-belt appeal to men?
How fiercely the left and the left-leaning media mocked and ridiculed her for that, though she herself did nothing to invite any of it but fail to be homely?

And now about Ashley . . .
On the bright side, if you can see it that way, Ashley's candidacy may strengthen the view that even her pushy and essentially public attack sexuality is compatible with feminism, though there is certainly nothing new in the idea that female aggression is and always has been characteristic of it.
And whether or not that's really any part of her intention.
Anyway, mostly the Republicans are painting her as a radical rather than trying to slut-shame her, and she deserves that far more than Obama seems to.
I thought I saw some leaks Friday that she had decided to run but just not announced, yet.
No?
As for me, I think on a personal level she has enormous appeal for bitch-mad women who admire and want to emulate the leading character of the TV series, Body of Proof.
The character, not the actress who plays her, about whom I know nothing.
I have no doubt a lot of this goes back to Ms. Judd's horrific past.
But it is what it is, and hatred of men is just as ugly and unacceptable, and certainly undesirable in a person of power, no matter how it is brought on.

I don't know whether she thinks talking about it will buy her votes.
It might well do that.
Many are the blacks who have made similar use of victimization at the hands of whites, and not only in the context of the civil rights struggles of decades ago.
What kind of reception would a white man get who sought votes by telling stories of victimization at the hands of blacks, mestizos, or other non-whites?
Or a man who told of being sexually brutalized by women?
Ah, those liberals and their identity politics.
Always appealing to, inciting, and legitimating anger, resentment, and hate, if not of all whites then at any rate of white men!
