BURN ALERT: Rose McGowan Slams Caitlyn Jenner

I wasn’t surprised that Glamour magazine named Caitlyn Jenner as their 2015 Glamour Woman of the Year. But I was disappointed–seriously, not Malala? Seriously?–and so it seems was actress Rose McGowan, who absolutely lost her mind when Caitlyn quipped that the hardest part of being a woman is deciding what to wear.

“Caitlyn Jenner you do not understand what being a woman is about at all,” McGowan wrote in a Facebook post Monday.  “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 f**king learn that we have had a VERY different experience than your life of male privilege,” she fumed on Facebook. “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 along f**king shot.”

When people started criticizing her Facebook post, she wrote another, and didn’t back down a well-heeled inch:

“Let me take this moment to point out that I am not, nor will I ever be, transphobic,” she wrote. “The idea is laughable. Disliking something a trans person has said is no different than disliking something a man has said or that a woman has said. Being trans doesn’t make one immune from criticism. Being Caitlyn Jenner is most assuredly not easy, but that doesn’t absolve her of her of responsibility. Living as a woman in this backwards society is hard. We need all hands on deck. Those who have the microphone speak to many. Especially that family.”

DAMN, GURL.

I must say, I agree with Rose. Yes, CJ has done amazing things for the trans community, but I’ve yet to hear about her activism on behalf of women. Or, even a real knowledge about what women have had to endure since, oh, the dawn of civilization. And Rose isn’t the first person who had a serious problem with Caitlyn getting WOTY. A few years ago, the mag gave the award posthumously to Moira Smith, a woman who died on Sept. 11 after helping dozens of coworkers escape. Her widowed husband was so livid that his hero wife was in the same category as Caitlyn that he gave the award back. 

Where do you stand on this feud? Do you think that Caitlyn totally deserved that award or does Rose make some excellent points?
