Jennifer Aniston is taking a stand against the "objectification and scrutiny" that tabloids regularly hurl toward women, penning a powerful and resonant essay for the Huffington Post that has garnered widespread support among her peers. Aniston has been the subject of incessant pregnancy rumors surrounding her marriage to Justin Theroux, an obvious example of sexism the Storks star won't let persist any longer.

"Here's where I come out on this topic: we are complete with or without a mate, with or without a child," the former Friends star said of the media's obsession with pregnancy. "We get to decide for ourselves what is beautiful when it comes to our bodies. That decision is ours and ours alone. Let's make that decision for ourselves and for the young women in this world who look to us as examples. Let's make that decision consciously, outside of the tabloid noise."
