Girls For A Change, a group of Bozeman High School girls, have been busy creating an educational and inspirational one-day conference for high school-age girls and actress/activist Jane Fonda has agreed to be the keynote speaker.
The conference will be held Saturday, Feb. 12, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the Montana State University Strand Union Building.
"Opening Doors" is designed to help girls build a future in which they are economically self-sufficient and successful in all aspects of their lives -- personal, academic, and professional lives.
The planning committee's invitation to Fonda to be the keynote speaker "elicited a speedy and enthusiastic response," according to a prepared statement.
A two-time Oscar-winning actress, Fonda now focuses on girl's reproductive health and building resiliency in girls and boys by addressing destructive gender stereotypes. She has traveled extensively in the developing world on behalf of these issues.
The conference will include panel discussions, workshops, and art and movement activities.
With the help of professional and inspirational business women, the girls will learn strategies to critique stereotypes in the media, communicate more effectively and overcome stress and anxiety. They will also will explore their individuality, self-awareness, and confidence through creative writing, yoga, and improvisation.
Founded in January 1997 in Bozeman by 16 girls and their female mentors, Girls for a Change is devoted to supporting and encouraging the successful development of local girls.
"This group of girls is fabulous," Beth Nave, a program coordinator for Prevent Child Abuse Inc., who has served as liaison between the girls' planning committee, the adult planning committee and sponsors.
"They are excited to learn about the opportunities and resources available to them in their local community as well as the greater world and want to share that information with their peers."
The event is sponsored by Montana State University, Prevent Child Abuse, Inc. and Turner Youth Initiative.
The conference costs $5 for students, including snacks and lunch, and scholarships are available. Registration closes Feb. 10. Registration forms are available at local high schools.
The general public is invited to the noon luncheon with keynote speaker Jane Fonda; the cost for the lunch is $20.

What was your point?
I agree with Fonda. There are destructive stereotypes that women are put in. And birth control and abortion for choices for women are legal.
You're reaching there where there isn't any there there.
The only stereotyping occurring is your [and Fonda's] depiction of women as a class oppressed by men, and that they therefore should be trained by special programs in schools that they do not need men.
Where in any post in this thread did I say that?
As long as she doesn't have to.
"You're reaching there where there isn't any there there".
Your reply is incomprehensible.
I'm asking you where I stated in this thread the charges you have leveled against me. Charges such as supporting her conduct back in the Vietnam War or those such as supporting feminism.
Regarding post #34:
That story about the papers with Social Security Numbers is an urban legend. Fonda did some terrible things when she visited North Vietnam, but this tale is fictional.
I agree with Fonda.
According to Snopes, right? They also called the Swift Boat Vets claims false. I'll keep it in mind now that it may or may not be true, but I'm not going to call it true or false until I see something convincing. Thanks for the heads up.
Thanks. We did try. It surprised me to see these comments from a long-time member. Usually they are better informed than newbies. Had these comments been posted by a newbie, they would have been zotted.
Thanks. She tried to join it with me in Post 117 but, after watching her incredible display of ignorance and obtuseness, I have much better things to do. IMO This is a lost cause.

I've never been to subscribe to the theory that its the messenger rather than the message.

Jane Fondakerryandcommunists will tell them to find a very rih man and marry him, she did.
It's been posted on FR many times and debunked.
Of course, Fonda is still a jerk...
Was John Kerry ever charged?
If you knew for a fact that Jane Fonda killed one of your neighbors' children, and through a gross miscarriage of justice was never charged with the crime, would you trust her alone with your children? By your logic, you should. After all, that was thirty years ago. Just because she committed treason and caused the deaths of somebody else's sons doesn't mean she shouldn't have the opportunity to destroy somebody else's daughters. Would you feel the same if it was your sons she killed and your daughters she was destroying? Or it only good enough for other people's children, not your own?
