Her explanation: “I never imagined a picture of my body would be posted in a men’s restroom.” She added, “I despise men looking at me and thinking what they think.” And I’m well aware of what people think.

Lynda Carter wrote a memoir in 2018 on her experiences with sexual harassment while working as an actress. As a result of the #MeToo movement, she stated the following with The Daily Beast: “I’ve fended off my fair share of [unwanted attention], and I’ve been afraid.” [However,] if a male attempted something, I would respond with, ‘Are you kidding me?’… We were pro-lib, women, therefore, throw away the bra. “We weren’t going to take any **** from anyone,” said the group.
