QUEEN OF BEING HUMAN
Free her.
OK I guess I’m just doing weird posts today.
You want to know what’s hilarious about this?
Jane Fonda went to my high school. She came and gave the graduation speech when I was a freshman. I met her. She gave us a bunch of money for our athletic facilities. We had the nicest track in the league. We hosted a lot of events there. It was great.
Everyone not involved in the school, but in my life, had to tell me all about how horrible this woman was. Hanoi Jane etc. All the controversial things she’d done. Apparently she got thrown out of Vassar for nudity or something. Crazy wild stories. Nobody could let me for a moment be like “wow this famous person went to my high school and I got to meet her.” I was never allowed to enjoy that. I had to be disgusted by, and condemn, her Controversial Actions as if they were something I might otherwise be taken to have condoned.
Even, the next year, on an exchange program, talking to one of the teachers at this high school overseas I was attending, I mentioned “oh Jane Fonda graduated from my high school” and he, this middle-aged man, had to tell 17-year-old me exactly how significant Jane Fonda and her leotards had been to him when he was my age.
Fucking, thanks buddy.
So anyway.
I’m delighted to see that Jane Fonda, all her past controversies which I was so stridently required to disavow as a teenager and so now, as an adult, am archly going to say I have no opinion on notwithstanding, gets to be a goofy Internet meme where we’re laughing with her and not just at her, for just a moment.
Thank you, Internet. And thank you, #relatable impossible-to-unzip designer dress.
