My love for Ashley Judd has gone the way of Iraq. Remember a couple of years ago, when a friend of mine offered to take me backstage to meet her and I got cold feet? I have just read an interview she gave, and I thank God for my cold tootsies. Here’s the beautiful Ashley on life in general and Indian brothels in particular:
I spend time talking about how women’s reproductive health is the nexus of eradicating a lot of inequality…I’m able to maintain healthy boundaries, to hold space with exploited people with more integrity…I feel pain about poverty. When I go to a brothel, I feel complete and sometimes homicidal rage. And I am frankly going to die if I am not part of the solution. I will take in all those feelings, and they will eat me alive.
