1 / 15 When J Law got real about why it's so damn hard for women to get what they deserve.

When, after the <a href="https://www.huffpost.com/topic/sony-hack">Sony e-mail hack</a>, J Law found out she was being paid way less than her male co-stars, she was <i>pissed -- </i>﻿and she spoke up about it in an essay that was equal parts eloquent and gutsy. <br><br>Lawrence astutely tackled the very real reason why so many women -- including non-movie stars -- don't push harder for what they deserve. "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 realized every man I was working with definitely didn't worry about being 'difficult' or 'spoiled,'" she wrote in <a href="http://www.lennyletter.com/">Lena Dunham's Lenny Letter</a>. "I'm over trying to find the 'adorable' way to state my opinion and still be likable!" she added. Us too, girl.
