The list of people unhappy with Caitlyn Jenner being given Glamour Women Of The Year Award continues to grow. Joining that list is actress Rose McGowan.
The outspoken 42-year-old former "Charmed" actress took to social media and penned an open letter on Facebook - which has since been deleted - slamming Jenner for her acceptance speech, where she joked that the "hardest part about being a woman is figuring out what to wear."
McGowan said the transgender E! star did not understand what being a woman was all about.
"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 [from] us. We are more than deciding what to wear. We are more than the stereotypes foisted upon us by people like you. Your (sic) a woman now? Well f--king learn that we have had a VERY different experience than your life of male privilege," the 42-year-old actress and director wrote in a Facebook post, according to Us Weekly.
"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 f--king shot."
"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," she added. "How we are perceived, what our values are, and 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."
Another person slamming the E! reality star was James Smith, who is the widower of 9/11 hero cop, Moira Smith. James returned his wife's Woman of the Year Award and found it offensive that the magazine would name the reality star, whom he referred to as Bruce Jenner, as one of the 2015 recipients, Us Weekly reported.
"I find it insulting to Moira Smith's memory, and the memory of other heroic women who have earned this award," he wrote. "Was there no woman in America, or the rest of the world, more deserving than this man? At a time when we have women in the armed forces fighting and dying for our country, heroic doctors fighting deadly diseases, women police officers and firefighters putting their lives on the line for total strangers, brave women overcoming life-threatening diseases...the list of possibilities goes on...is this the best you could do?"
James also accused the magazine of using Jenner as a publicity stunt.
