Ashley Judd Promotes Liberating Aging Message

The “Double Jeopardy” actor shared a liberating video on Instagram last week, in which she spoke about being a member of the “We Do Not Care” club.

The viral club was started by influencer Melani Sanders, whom Judd credited in her post. Sanders regularly shares videos on social media that highlight what women experiencing menopause or perimenopause no longer care about.

“Hi, I’m Ashley, and I’m a member of the We Don’t Care Club,” the actor said, while wearing a swimsuit in the Baltic Sea.

Judd began to rattle off some of the things she didn’t care about ― such as “picking my crotch” in the video and sharing some anti-chafing tricks for wearing a swimsuit.

She also showed off various moves in the water, “because when we were little, it was really fun, and we don’t care what people think of us.”

She also said she’d come up with something called the “Make Stuff Up Club,” telling followers that as a “postmenopausal woman, I don’t care if you don’t like the MSU Club.”

In her Instagram caption, Judd said menopause, from the “peri – post” stage, is “human biology.”

“It is universal to females & global. What can be a hope of We Don’t Care Club? What will I, with my freedom & mirth, when I let go of caring about stupid, controlling norms about my female body, be free to enJOY?

Sanders responded to Judd’s post in the comments.

“Hey my WDNC Sister. Oh how I wish I could have joined you! The beach is my love language,” she wrote, adding “This video has made my day!!”

“Post-menopausal since 2018 — and super comfortable with that,” she wrote at the time. “I am rejoicing in @justbeingmelani un muzzling of peri/post/menopausal expression and her inviting in all kinds of women to liberate their ‘I don’t cares!’ We are enough, we do enough, it is enough. It is okay, we are okay.”
