Ashley Judd Reacts To ‘Puffy Face’ Comments As ‘Misogynistic’

Apparently Ashley Judd is bothered by the influx of comments that poured in after she appeared in a campaign ad for Elizabeth Warren on Tuesday.

Therefore, Ashley Judd took to Facebook and interpreted the comments as ‘misogynistic’ against her ‘medical issues.’

As The Daily Wire reported:

“The misogynistic savages of both sexes have come out, as have plenty of folks who empathize and see it for what it is (woman bashing),” she wrote. “I find it a gendered way to distract from my political speech: the hate happened in response to a video in support of the Presidential candidate of my choice.”

Judd said she’s suffered from migraines for over a year.

No one is making fun of her for being a woman voicing political views with a puffy face.

A dude with that puffy of a face would also receive some comments, let’s be real here.

Additionally, botox for migraines are provided in the forehead and sometimes the neck and shoulders… not the cheeks.

She probably requests add-on units of botox. There’s nothing wrong with that. It looks terrible but, again, there’s nothing wrong with the decision. Just own it.

According to the American Migraine Foundation:

Botox is injected around pain fibers that are involved in headaches. Botox enters the nerve endings around where it is injected and blocks the release of chemicals involved in pain transmission. This prevents activation of pain networks in the brain.

Oh, and here’s a little nugget of information from the Mayo Clinic:

Mayo Clinic have treated thousands of patients with chronic migraine effectively and safely using Botox. The medication typically is injected into muscles of the forehead, scalp, neck and shoulders.

Therefore, while her migraines may in fact be bad enough for botox treatments, no one was discrediting that, considering it wasn’t her forehead that was puffy.

More from The Daily Wire:

“Those of you who are talking about my female appearance, making assessments about my worth and desirability are basing your opinions on wholly gendered norms,” complained Judd. “The good news for my empowered self is I don’t take compliments any more seriously than I do slurs.”

You’re taking it seriously enough to deflect your insecurities via a social media platform…

Just saying.

Also, if your face looks disproportionate due to deliberately bad decision making and lack of self control to cut back a bit, it has nothing to do with gender norms.
