Lena Headey Blasted By Fans And Feminists For Her Physique

“an art project focused on physical feminist empowerment” “We were very upset to find out that a very thin and non-athletic actress had been chosen out of, supposedly, hundreds to play a role that we as physical feminists found so inspiring. We see this as yet another example of the media trying to inspire women to be thin, to ‘keep our place’ (as in not take up too much room) and to keep us from being strong.“The premise of physical feminism is that women are just as capable of defending ourselves as men, that the concept that we are weaker than men is a cultural myth rather than a physical reality. And Hamilton’s portrayal of Sarah Connor was a key media icon for that belief.”
