No, Ashley Judd's Speech Was Not "Raunchy."
It was honest.
You give the Orange Loser a pass on 18 months of
constant obscenities and incitement to violence, then condemn and insult
Ashley Judd for calling him out on it?
Shame on you for cowardice and discrimination. And good on Ashley.
WASHINGTON
Actress Ashley Judd, a Kentucky native, delivered a raunchy, impassioned speech on Saturday at the Women’s March on Washington and recited a poem that declared “I am a Nasty Woman.”“My name is Ashley Judd, and I am a feminist,” she said, taking the stage after a speech by Michael Moore.Judd has often used her fame as a platform from which to address political issues and advocate for the rights of rape survivors.The actress read the poem “I am a Nasty Woman” by Nina Donovan, a 19-year-old Beat poet, on the main stage of the rally on Independence Avenue. Donovan wrote the poem to fight back after Donald Trump called Hillary Clinton a “nasty woman” at a presidential debate last year.“I am a nasty woman, but not as nasty as a man who looked like he bathes in Cheeto dust,” Judd recited, eliciting cheers from the crowd. “I’m not nasty, like the combo of Trump and Pence being served up to me in my voting booth. I’m nasty like the battles my grandmothers fought to get me into that voting booth.”The poem also attacks Donald Trump’s behavior along with tampon taxes, wage inequality, and sexual assault.“I am nasty like Susan, Elizabeth, Eleanor, Amelia, Rose, Gloria, Condoleezza, Sonya, Malala, Michelle, Hillary,” Judd said, listing famous and powerful women in history. “And our pussies ain’t for grabbing.”“So if you are a nasty woman or you love one who is let me hear you say, ‘Hell yea!’” She ended the speech with the crowd repeating “Hell yea! Hell yea! Hell yea!” back to her.
Raunchy? No. Proud and courageous and determined.
And shame on, Medill, for censorship. This is her actual quote, via Charlie Pierce:
"Our
pussies ain't for grabbing. This pussy is for my pleasure and giving
birth to more nasty women. I am nasty like Susan, Elizabeth, Eleanor,
Amelia, Rosa, Gloria, Condoleezza, Sonia, Malala, Michelle, Hillary! And
our pussies ain't for grabbing."
