We’re coming over all Meryl about it, all over again.

It was the speech that made Meryl Streep do this:

Patricia Arquette used her Oscars’ podium, and her precious time after winning the Best Supporting Actress award, to deliver a ground-breaking speech about gender equality and the gender pay gap.

Women around the world cheered her on.

However, when asked to expand on her speech backstage, Arquette kind of, maybe put her foot in it.

“And it’s time for all the women in America and all the men that love women, and all the gay people, and all the people of color that we’ve all fought for to fight for us now.”

Amanda Marcotte, a writer for Slate ,  was among the harsher critics of Arquette, stating, that Arquette’s, “political grandstanding played into every ugly stereotype about feminism.”

Ouch.

Arquette took to another podium last night, at the 50/50 by 2030 initiative, launched by U.N Women, which aims to make international gender equality a reality in the next 15 years.

The Boyhood star was joined by Hillary Clinton and Melinda Gates who also delivered speeches on the night.

The 46-year-old concluded with a powerful statement, “This is about supporting families, and getting women what they have already earned for their own hard work. Hold your lawmakers accountable … We are a movement, and we are making changes for our daughters. We matter.”

We feel like doing our very own Merly Streep fist pump all over again.
