AFP - Several women's groups were planning to protest against actor Arnold Schwarzenegger, a Republican candidate for governor of California, whom they consider anything but an ally for his past remarks about women.
The actor said in a 1977 interview with a men's magazine that he took part in group sex, and back in his bodybuilding days worked hard to get a steady stream of women into bed.
"His comments are degrading for women", Karen Pomer, founder of the "Rainbow Sisters Project", a group of sex abuse victims, told reporters. Her group and others planned a protest outside the "Join Arnold" offices in Santa Monica.
"I said crazy things," the actor told a press conference of the 1977 interview.
"It was the summer I was promoting bodybuilding, because bodybuilding was nowhere to be found. We tried to get headlines, we tried to get attention...many (things) were exaggerated and not true, to get the headlines. The fact is, you have to forget about the 70's.
"I was a different person then. Today we have to look in the future which is the future of this state."
