Proving once and for all that she truly is one kick-ass human being, Jennifer Lawrence has spoken out against the gender pay gap.

In a thoughtfully written essay, J.Law revealed that she found out about the pay gap when Sony’s emails were hacked last year.

She said: "I didn't get mad at Sony. I got mad at myself. I failed as a negotiator because I gave up early.”

Jen, 25, continued: "I would be lying if I didn't say there was an element of wanting to be liked that influenced my decision to close the deal without a real fight. I didn't want to seem 'difficult' or 'spoiled'.

"At the time, that seemed like a fine idea, until I saw the payroll on the Internet and realised every man I was working with definitely didn't worry about being 'difficult' or 'spoiled'."

Despite starring in hit films such as The Hunger Games, Jen earns less than her male peers

She then noted the double standard that women experience when it comes to having their voices heard.

"All I hear and see all day are men speaking their opinions, and I give mine in the same exact manner, and you would have thought I had said something offensive," she said.

"I'm over trying to find the "adorable" way to state my opinion and still be likable!"

YES. WE LOVE YOU J.LAW!!
