Actress Rose McGowan has not been a fan of Caitlyn Jenner's Woman of the Year acceptance speech.
The "Charmed" actress, 42, slammed the former Olympian for stating at Glamour's ceremony that the "hardest part about being a woman is figuring out what to wear", reported Us magazine.
"Caitlyn Jenner you do not understand what being a woman is about at all. You want to be a woman and stand with us- well learn us. We are more than deciding what to wear.
"We are more than the stereotypes foisted upon us by people like you. You're a woman now? Well learn that we have had a VERY different experience than your life of male privilege," McGowan wrote in a Facebook post.
She continued, "Woman of the year? No, not until you wake up and join the fight. Being a woman comes with a lot of baggage. The weight of unequal history. You'd do well to learn it. You'd do well to wake up. Woman of the year? Not by a long shot.
