Now, the actress-singer has taken to Facebook to call out Glamour magazine's Woman of the Year Caitlyn Jenner, who joked in her acceptance speech that "the hardest part about being a woman is figuring out what to wear."

McGowan wrote:

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

McGowan re-posted Caitlyn’s quote with graphic images on them, including a woman getting beaten, another who had acid thrown on her face and one of Nicole Brown Simpson covered in bruises.

McGowan added that she's happy Jenner is living her truth and raising visibility for the trans community, "but comments like hers have consequences for other women."

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

Glamour's decision to honor Jenner sparked a surprising amount of controversy: At the November 9 awards ceremony, the former Olympian was verbally assaulted by protesters who claimed she was "an insult to trans people."

Since then, the widower of a past honoree from 2001 returned the award in protest, asking "was there no woman in America, or the rest of the world, more deserving than this man?"
