Rose McGowan: Caitlyn Jenner Doesn’t Understand What Being a Woman Is About “Video”

Rose McGowan does not like Caityln Jenner’s Woman of the Year Award acceptance speech in which she said, “hardest part about being a woman is figuring out what to wear”.

The Charmed star was reacting to Jenner’s interview with BuzzFeed after the retired Olympian won Glamour’s Woman of the Year award.

“The hardest part about being a woman is figuring out what to wear,” Jenner said. “I think as far as gender, we’re all on a journey. We’re all learning and growing about ourselves. And I feel the same way.​”

But McGowan wrote in a now-deleted Facebook post that women are more than just “stereotypes”.

“Caitlyn Jenner, you do not understand what being a woman is about at all,” she said. “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.

“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 to it. You’d do well to wake up. Woman of the year? Not by a long f**king shot.”

McGowan later added: “Let me amend this by saying I’m happy for what she’s doing visibility-wise for the trans community, and I’m happy she’s living her truth, but comments like hers have consequences for other women.

“How we are perceived, what our values are, leads to more stereotyping. If you know you are going to be speaking to media about being a woman, maybe come to understand our struggles.”

Meanwhile, the husband of a 9/11 hero returned his wife’s Woman of the Year award from 2001 in protest at Jenner winning the same prize.
