Women look powerful in pantsuits.

i expected this photoshoot from …hmmm.. Sienna MIller… in her twenties. Granted, Jen looks good, but… she didnt need this spread to promote a “family” movie.

Also, she really couldnt talk about “empowering women” and the whole lot… I look at Jen, and i just cant see it. She’s had played out the woe-is-me bit too much that the image is stuck to her (which is why she is now doing spreads like this and interviews where she drops the f’s bomb and such- to erase the woe-girl-next-door image)

how about instead of talking about empowering women and worse, by getting naked, learn from other empowering actresses such as Reese, Salma, Nicole, Angie, Drew — these women are also actresses who learned to balance work, their humanitarian efforts, their lives. especially Angie, she does it, she walks the walk and talks the talk…still her family is her priority.

like i said on my other post, finding balance and living – that’s empowering…

My comment was in reference to Hilary, an elected official, not about her dressing like a man. I’m sorry you saw sexism in my comment.

Why does a pantsuit feel more empowering? I completely disagree with that comment… it’s like a woman can only be empowered by dressing as a man… why can’t a woman be strong in a dress? Or be in charge of her sexuality, like Aniston is doing? It’s not like GQ is a men’s magazine in the Playboy sense, it’s meant to display a hint of class… and Aniston definitely portrays complete control of herself.

Usually I adore your commentary but that just bothered me a little.

Trent, you are sooooooo right on!

I really want to root for Jennifer—I REALLY do, but stuff like this just….blah, no…

This cover is empowering for her because it is symbolic of her new approach with the press – of her being more open about very private times in her life that the press won’t stop asking about. I’m sure disclosing info about your private life with the world can make someone feel as vulnerable as being naked so this cover and her recent interviews just says HERE WORLD YOU WANTED ME NAKED, RAW, UNCUT – HERE I AM!

Oh and I don’t think this picture is airbrushed at all – they would have brushed out the little tummy wrinkle/dimple.

Trent… i think you’re an ass in this post. Who cares – Jen’s just showing off that she’s still got it.

You woo and awe over that whore named Angelina all the time who caused all that crap between Brad and Jen… so once Jen comes out a bit about it (not even in that much detail) you start saying she’s taking the low road. lame. She atleast didn’t go out in public and cry over it like say… Britney Spears and her whole mental break down after Kfed. Yeah there was kids involved but any marriage splitting up can be a devastating one.

Anyways i like the new Jen, more open and comfortable with herself and hot as hell! I think that John Mayer do some good on her!

Joce – Agreed! Society doesn’t judge a shirtless or sexy man as much as a semi-naked/naked or sexy woman.
I don’t necessarily equate nudity with empowerment, but at the same time, I don’t think it’s automatically disempowering either. If she likes to be naked, then go for it. She likes her body and that’s awesome.
I don’t think it’s hypocritical of her to complain about the disempowerment of females in films. There ARE NOT enough films with strong women.

I have to say that I do think it’s empowering. Anytime anyone sees a women-over a certain age-nude, people are stunned. How old is she? Why is she doing THAT? It’s great to see a women who is a little bit older and proud of her own body. I don’t think ‘empowering’ is limited to artistic shots; it’s putting a smile on and loving yourself that helps others do the same.
As far as objectification, I believe that anyone who poses for a magazine at all-whether it’s a male or female, is objectifying themselves to airbrushing, lighting, make up, et cetera. I agree with F, at least she’s not sucking a lollipop or in some raunchy pose.

Shaaawing!

She’s so fabulous, the girl can do no wrong in my eyes. I have to agree with Joce.

I agree Trent. I do not equate female empowerment with posing nude on the cover of a men’s magazine. It just furthers the idea that women are sex objects.

I’m all for women being proud and confident with their bodies–and yes, women can draw a sense of empowerment from that. However, this is neither art, nor fashion, nor anything else productive. She’s just posing nude for a silly men’s mag while promoting a movie.

I’m not impressed.

I don’t like this woman, and I’m proudly Team Jolie, but that said: Jenny A is looking RIGHT in this picture.

I think she’s gone to desperate measures to get some attention… I thought she wanted less publicity.. I gotta admit, she does look good for being 40?

why would she need to wear a pantsuit to feel empowered? she looks incredible, and she seems healthy, happy, and confident. if I look like that when I’m 39 you will totally find me posing nekky on the cover of a men’s mag!

She’s promoting a children’s movie right now. Does anyone else think it’s weird that she’s doing that with the kinds of interviews that have been happening. Here she’s naked. She’s been cursing up a storm.

I don’t know, something doesn’t feel right.
