Jessica Chastain isn’t taking any nonsense.
On Sunday, the “Miss Sloane” actress tweeted about President Trump’s plan to eliminate universal maternity coverage, writing:
Some men dont want to pay for women's health, but sorry, you wouldnt be here without us. Time to show honor & respect for your mothers guys https://t.co/tcKjtAEAXi
— Jessica Chastain (@jes_chastain) March 19, 2017
Minutes later, she got a response from user @theStevenB, informing her why her opinion was very, very wrong:
@jes_chastain Female Republicans don't want to pay for womens health either. This is about political/religious beliefs, not gender
— Steven (@TheStevenB) March 19, 2017
Chastain’s response, and the ensuing exchange, was priceless:
Please Steven, tell me more about what women want. I need your insight. https://t.co/2ZeJLhs5cE

@jes_chastain How many women voted R? Why don't you ask what THEY want?
— Steven (@TheStevenB) March 19, 2017
@TheStevenB instead of telling me what they want as you did in your 1st tweet you should be the one 2 listen. Let women speak for themselves
— Jessica Chastain (@jes_chastain) March 19, 2017
@jes_chastain @TheStevenB Jessica, you dont represent women. You represent yourself only.
— Nick (@fowlyetti) March 19, 2017
@fowlyetti @TheStevenB haha where did I say I represent all women?! My tweet was about 'some' men. Guess I hit a nerve, right dude?

This isn’t the first time Chastain, a vocal supporter of reproductive healthcare for women, has been mansplained on Twitter. In January, baseball player Matt Garza felt the need to explain birth control to Chastain, a human woman, and it didn’t work out so well for him. Clearly, it’s going to take more than one man to stop her from speaking out.
