Braless Ashley Judd Wears Tight Dress, Shows Off Ab Muscles: See Pic!

"The Conversation about women happens everywhere, publicly and privately. We are described and detailed, our faces and bodies analyzed and picked apart, our worth ascertained and ascribed based on the reduction of personhood to simple physical objectification," she wrote. "Our voices, our personhood, our potential, and our accomplishments are regularly minimized and muted."

"This abnormal obsession with women's faces and bodies has become so normal that we (I include myself at times—I absolutely fall for it still) have internalized patriarchy almost seamlessly," Judd mused in her Daily Beast piece. "We are unable at times to identify ourselves as our own denigrating abusers, or as abusing other girls and women."

She pointed out there needs to be a kinder approach to body image, writing, "The insanity has to stop, because as focused on me as it appears to have been, it is about all girls and women...It affects each and every one of us, in multiple and nefarious ways: our self-image, how we show up in our relationships and at work, our sense of our worth, value, and potential as human beings."

The fact that Judd has a fit, healthy body is evident, but it's also clear she has one smart, sexy brain!
