Jennifer Aniston makes declaration of female independence

It’s time to shout stop and to fight back against  the pressures  heaped upon all women,

Let’s hear it for the wonderful (though childless) Jennifer Aniston. In case you missed it, the former Friends star wrote an open letter in the ‘Huffington Post’ this week telling the stalking paparazzi — and, let’s face it, the rest of us who are guilty of gawping at their pictures — to back off.

In a powerful piece that should be on every school curriculum, she wrote: “For the record, I am not pregnant. What I am is fed up.” She spoke about how the press, by trying to uncover whether or not she is pregnant (“for the bajillionth time... but who’s counting?”), perpetuates the notion that women are somehow incomplete, unsuccessful, or unhappy if they’re not married with children.
