Actress Kaley Cuoco, star of the CBS hit comedy “Big Bang Theory,” has outraged many on Twitter for comments she made on feminism in a recent interview with Redbook magazine. First up, here’s what she said:

Scandalous? Hardly. But the outrage that followed was entirely predictable:

.@Cosmopolitan how can someone who is reaping the benefits of the feminist movement (via her large paycheck) not be a "feminist"? — Jamie Rae Gibson (@JamieRaeGibson) December 30, 2014

@GlamourMagUK I find her attitude so selfish. Feminism is a worldwide movement to help ALL women…which should be in her interests too. — Florence Grace (@flomatthews_) December 31, 2014

@GlamourMagUK She earns an absolute fortune so her attitude doesn't surprise me. Equality is something everyone should strive for though. — ✨ Emily ✨ (@milyelle) December 31, 2014

It's lucky I don't give a fuck what Kaley Cuoco thinks about most things — caitlin stasey (@caitlinstasey) December 31, 2014

“@GossipCop: Kaley Cuoco: I Like “Serving” My Husband, Don’t Consider Myself A Feminist http://t.co/VPrvdSHEMl” Girl, bye. — ✨Ratchèt✨ (@erinspirationxo) December 31, 2014

Kaley Cuoco-Sweeting’s thoughts on feminism are as tragic as her haircut. Barf. — Nicole Pirshafiey (@NicoleMojan) December 31, 2014

Although not everyone was content to simply disagree with Cuoco’s worldview. Oh, no. They had to go and insinuate she was too stupid to understand what “feminism” truly means:

@TIME Thx to the woman who came before me, but I've got mine, so whatever! I'm over these 20 something girls who don't understand feminism. — Amy L Marckel (@xyam70) December 31, 2014

“@glamourmag: Here's the latest celeb who says she's not a feminist: http://t.co/3rgA4UpVvw” kaley should educate herself on current events — j (@jen_i_fer) December 31, 2014

@glamourmag That's really sad. I don't think she knows what it means. — Rachel Duncan (@RachelxDuncan) December 31, 2014

And we wonder if some of Kaley’s critics have ever watched the show:

Kaley Cuoco stars as a dumb blonde waitress who lives next door to a group of smart male scientists #BigBangTheory — Jessica Abrahams (@jiabrahams) December 31, 2014

Where's the show in which a clueless dumb guy lives next door to a group of brilliant female physicists? #BigBangTheory — Jessica Abrahams (@jiabrahams) December 31, 2014

That's the inequality she's missing — Jessica Abrahams (@jiabrahams) December 31, 2014

We won’t go into a lengthy analysis of the “Big Bang Theory” here, but in many ways Kaley’s character is the smartest one of the group. And as for equality, she just signed a reported $72 million contract:

Sources told The Hollywood Reporter that Cuoco, Parsons and Galecki tripled their salaries from $325K per episode to ‘about $1 million per half-hour and an increased cut of the back-end.’

Look at that: Her salary is equal to that of the male co-stars!
