Emma Stone, Hollywood sweetheart, last-remaining Spice Girls fan, and voluntary star of the next True Detective series—don’t you dare tell us otherwise, HBO—has spun another The Amazing Spider-Man 2 press moment into Internet gold.

The moment was teed up by a small British boy, who, during an overseas Q&A with the cast, asked Andrew Garfield where in fact Spider-Man gets his costume. Garfield, admirably, didn’t miss a beat in letting the boy know that Peter Parker “made it. He made it with his bare hands. He sewed it. He took some sewing classes.” Rather than stop here, Garfield continued, “It’s kind of a feminine thing to do, but he really kind of made a very masculine costume out of a very feminine . . . ”

Instead of letting Garfield continue—Stone, who plays Spidey’s love interest and is Garfield’s girlfriend in real life—challenged him in front of the audience, asking, “It’s feminine how?”

As the crowd made “Oooh” sounds and Jamie Foxx shot a “Leave me out of this” look to the audience, Garfield replied, “It’s amazing how you took that as an insult.”

“I’m not taking it as an insult,” Stone said coolly, giving us a behind-the-scenes glimpse of what the couple’s arguments might look like. “I’m asking how it is feminine.”

“I would say that femininity is about more delicacy,” Garfield responded, trying to regain his footing. “And precision. And detail work. And craftsmanship. Like my mother, she is an amazing craftsman. She in fact made my first Spider-Man costume, when I was three. So I use it as a compliment. Not just for women but for men as well. We all have feminine in us, young men.”

And that is how Spider-Man saved himself from public humiliation at the hands of the unlikeliest of his people, his real-life girlfriend, who had a very good point. Now imagine a world in which Emma Stone was on hand to police all Hollywood conversations that stray into the politically incorrect world of sexism.
