Does Reese Witherspoon have a sudden case of tennis elbow?

Nah — the celebrity dogooder was showing off her “women’s empowerment bracelet,” unveiled today at a United Nations press conference in New York City.

The 31-year-old actress joined Avon in partnership with the United Nations Development Fund for Women (UNIFEM) to promote women’s economic empowerment and end violence against women. The bracelet, available now at Avon, sells for only $3 each and profits will be donated to the Avon Empowerment Fund.

Says Reese: “One out of every three women in the world is affected by domestic violence. I am proud to be a part of this summit and I support Avon and UNIFEM wholeheartedly in their efforts to put an end to this global epidemic.”

    Oh!
    Domestic Violence is a big stinker for sure. Though I wouldnt consider it an “epidemic”
    Here is my one thought on it:
    1) First time its “HIS/HER FAULT” for hitting.
    2) Second time its YOUR OWN stupidity for staying.

    I was once in a very violent marriage………………….and you know what? When I honestly fought back on that pansy ass - - till this day he gets out of my way. (18 years later!)
    Get out. DONT go back. There are MANY, MANY places to go, even if you have children.
    I did at the time. NO EXCUSE for staying in a violent marriage.
    NONE.
    And she thinks this stupid ass bracelt is going to give a beaten up woman POWER?!?!
    STFU!
    I say - - -call me if you need any help :)

    She’s not fighting for a cause as much as she is to keep her career going with the “so called critical acclaim” label.
