"The year of the visible vagina"

In October 2013, Rashida Jones decided she had had enough of young female celebrities like Kim Kardashian, Miley Cyrus and Rihanna shoving their lady parts in everyone's faces, and she took to Twitter to express her outrage. She tweeted, "This week's celeb news takeaway: she who comes closest to showing the actual inside of her vagina is most popular. #stopactinglikewhores. Let me clarify. I don't shame ANYone for anything they choose to do with their lives or bodies... BUT I think we ALL need to take a look at what we are accepting as 'the norm'... There is a whole generation of young women watching. Sure, be SEXY but leave something to the imagination."

#stopactinglikewhores

Jones' #stopactinglikewhores campaign didn't stop there. Because of the backlash her spot-on comments received, Jones said she learned a very valuable lesson about social media. The Parks and Recreation actress explains, "Twitter is a dark alley and you shouldn't go down it alone, because you'll get beat up."

Jones was accused of being everything from anti-woman to anti-feminist because she dared to suggest that young women celebrities could do a better job with their responsibility as role models to other young women. When Jones was invited to write a column for Glamour, she used it as a platform to better explain what she meant by her Twitter rant, clarifying that there was nothing wrong with being sexy but that today's standard for "sexy" for teen and young adult girls has become oversexualized.

Back for more

On April 5 at the Women in the World Summit, Jones joined a panel to revisit the topic. Here are a few of our favorite quotes from what Jones had to say on the subject of overly sexualized images and acts of young female performers.

"It's not just Miley [Cyrus], you know. I don't blame anybody individually for their expression of themselves. I'm just worried about the collective messaging that's happening for girls."

"Say what you will. ‘You're not a role model.' Fine, you are. You have no choice in the matter. You're selling tickets to lots of young girls."

"Young girls don't know the difference between what's real and what's entertainment."

"I mention in my article that men need to be a part of this conversation because what's ended up happening is it's a bunch of women just, like, duking it out between each other and we're not including men."

"You can't invest in your looks as your only thing because it's a depreciating asset. It's like putting money into a stock that's going down. Invest in your brain, invest in your talents. Those things can appreciate and they get better as you get older."

In October of 2013, the actress infamously tweeted, "This week's celeb news takeaway: she who comes closest to showing the actual inside of her vagina is most popular. #stopactinglikewhores." Jones found herself caught in the crosshairs of a full-fledged Twitter war of both cheerleaders and critics, both analyzing the tweet's apparent intentions.

Taking it off

In a column for Glamour, Jones expanded on her mini-rant, clarifying that there is "nothing wrong" with being sexy, but that today's standard for sexy has become vastly oversexualized.

The feminist movement is at its best when it pushes toward expanding choices for everyone. Instead of adding to the painfully long list of things that women shouldn't do, Jones should consider channeling her efforts into ventures that actually lift women up — such as supporting women's reproductive rights and fighting for flexible work arrangements. Slut-shaming occurs when a source attempts to elicit feelings of inferiority or remorse when attacking a woman's perceived or actual sexual behavior or feelings, and Rashida Jones is guilty as sin.

From Elvis to Britney

Pop stars are not role models. Over history, pop culture icons ranging from Elvis to Britney Spears to Marilyn Manson have acted as scapegoats for parents and conservatives looking to assign blame for varied prepubescent misbehaviors. Why don't we expect other artists to uphold such a rigid moral compass? It would be absurd to argue that Amy Poehler's Parks and Recreation character Leslie Knope is a bad influence on young girls because she is ditzy, unintelligent and seemingly running her entire department into the ground. How is Britney any different?

Whether you see her as a feminist torchbearer or a Disney marionette, Miley Cyrus' impact is undeniable. Cyrus shouldn't be judged, policed or condemned for being comfortable with her own sexuality. Instead, she should be applauded for becoming a bare-cheeked exuberant sexpot of her own volition and for having the fearlessness to disregard criticism from pseudo-feminists who simply don't understand.

Assuming that female pop stars have no reason to take their clothes off beyond fulfilling the male gaze is hugely problematic. Jones should be ashamed. If you don't want to see a pop star's a** cheeks, change the channel.

Ladies, #keepactinglikewhoresifyouwant. I won't judge you.

1. Olivia Wilde & Jason Sudeikis

This engaged pair (who recently became first-time parents) have outstanding comedy bonafides — Jason is considered comedy royalty from his years on Saturday Night Live and appearances in hit films like Horrible Bosses and We're the Millers, and while Wilde is best known for action films like Tron: Legacy, she recently appeared in the critically-acclaimed indie comedy Drinking Buddies.

What We'd Like to See Them In: This engaged pair's affection for each other is so obvious, we'd love to see them play against type, as big-screen enemies — like professional rivals, or mismatched neighbors.

2. Natalie Portman & Rashida Jones

Though these real-life BFFs have starred in a Funny or Die comedy video about the last presidential election, they've yet to pair up on the big screen. Former Parks and Recreation star Rashida is doing her first dramatic turn in the upcoming film Decoding Annie Parker, making it the perfect time to expand her filmography (with her Oscar-winning best friend's help).

What We'd Like to See Them In: Given Rashida's new-found dramatic skills, the two some could be great as partners in a crime that goes wrong and sends them on the run, Thelma and Louise-style.

3. Kate Winslet & Reese Witherspoon

This Oscar-winning twosome met when they became neighbors and Kate contacted Reese to set up a playdate for their kids (and drink some wine, of course).

What We'd Like to See Them In: The pair should use this relatable back story, and their great real-life connection, as a jumping-off point for a buddy comedy about two moms who accidentally get in over their heads (think Tina Fey's Date Night).

4. Emily Blunt & John Krasinski

From comedies like The Devil Wears Prada, to action films like the upcoming Edge of Tomorrow, Emily has appeared in nearly every different kind of film — except one co-starring her husband of four years, former The Office star Krasinski.

What We'd Like to See Them In: The comically gifted pair would do great as voices in an energetic animated film like The LEGO® Movie — something that would thrill the couple's young son (who was born in February), while also providing a showcase for their easy-going charm.

5. Jessica Biel & Justin Timberlake

The twosome, married since 2012, revealed that they could joke around with each other on a 2013 Saturday Night Live skit, where Jessica stole the show as a real-life version of cartoon temptress Jessica Rabbit.

What We'd Like to See Them In: Jessica, who's best known for appearing in dramas and action films, could re-invent herself as a comedienne by appearing side-by-side with Justin in a goofy comedy like his Friends with Benefits.

6. Jay-Z & Beyonce

Sure, their amazing fake trailer video for "Run" ended with a screen that said "Coming Never," just in case you had gotten too worked up at the idea of Jay and Bey on screen together. But Mrs. Carter's starred in a wide variety of different films, from the award-winning Dreamgirls to the downright silly Austin Power in Goldmember; she even did a voice in the recent animated film Epic. So why can't she find a role that would pair her on screen with Jay for real?

What We'd Like to See Them In: Taking a page from "Run," the duo should star as lovers on the wrong side of the law. Jay could play a strong, silent type, and leave most of the actual acting to Beyonce.

7. Jennifer Aniston & Chelsea Handler

Though Jennifer's long-time friendship with former Friends co-star Courtney Cox is the stuff of BFF legend, she's also close with late night host Chelsea, who appeared in the 2012 film This Means War.

What We'd Like to See Them In: It's almost too easy to picture Chelsea as the sassy, cynical best friend drinking wine and advising Jennifer's confused single lady in a fun romantic comedy.

8. Peter Sarsgaard & Maggie Gyllenhaal

This pair of high-brow actors with hard-to-spell names have each won a boatload of awards for their serious dramatic films, but have yet to combine their passion for drama with their passion for each other.

What We'd Like to See Them In: Given their track records, we think a drama about a hot social issue would be the perfect place for this pair to show off their on-screen chemistry and raise some political awareness.
