Can't the boomers are still around and they still remember when Jane Fonda was easy on the eyes. Plus you know you got the granola gluten free spiritual not religious types now who are convinced they can generate electricity from unicorn farts.

All the money from her exercise videos went to left wing activism, fun fact for the day

Don't believe it. Also was that before or after she shot at US soldiers?

[–] VirtualOdour@sh.itjust.works 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I don't think she shot at anyone, she was photographed sitting on an air defense gun in North Vietnam if that's what you mean.

And it's true about the video profits, it's all a matter of public record you can look it up if you're so inclined.

Read up on the Campaign for Economic Democracy it's a really interesting bit of history. She's been involved in activism her whole life - anti war, feminism, climate protection and economic justice causes, actually a really cool person (if you like left wing causes)

Before or after she entertained the Vietcong and broke nuclear power in the US?

Yes I already talked about that photograph, are you not paying attention?

But yes for everyone else who is able to follow along, this is why right wingers like our friend here hate her, mostly the feminism but also being against American imperialism, etc as she was a significant figure in the anti war movement.

Cool person, worth reading up on if you enjoy left wing protest movements and stuff

I am not a rightwinger and if talking about you mean ignored it then yes I agree. There is a big fucking difference between being against a war and giving aid and comfort to an enemy. I protested the war in Iraq, I didn't go to Baghdad and help Saddam. When you learn the difference you will understand why that woman is hated. Hint it has jack and shit to do with feminism
