Jennifer Lawrence is speaking up for women a lot these days -- and it's pretty damn awesome. 

On Tuesday, Lawrence sat down with CBS News' Charlie Rose to discuss her recent essay on the pay gap and why she's only recently begun to speak out about the issue.  

Lawrence said as soon as the Sony Hack happened, which revealed Lawrence was being paid much less than her male co-stars, she said she realized there was "no one to blame but myself." (Definitely not your fault, JLaw.)

"I knew that it wasn’t Sony’s fault, it was what I had done with my own mentality," she said. "I feel awkward negotiating, I feel uncomfortable asking for more money. I don’t want to seem like a brat." 

At 25 years old, Lawrence said she's learning a lot, adding that sometimes it can be scary to grow up in front of an audience. “As I get older and I learn more and I have opinions I go: ‘I have just as much of a right to speak and with something like that, with something that’s so clearly unfair, if I don’t use my voice for women who don’t have a voice then what’s the point?” 

According to The Daily Beast, in another portion of the interview Lawrence told Rose she hopes she can become even more comfortable in her opinions. “I want to be that person who will say that thing that’s really hard to say, that’s really awkward and really difficult,” she said. “One day I want to be able to just say it, and not make a joke, and not try to make it cute, but to just say it.”

Hell. Yes. Jennifer.

Does a fat paycheck help ease the pain of a boring job? Most of us kind of believe the answer is yes. Indeed, it’s the thinking behind many a young corporate lawyer or investment banker’s failed career. But the reality is: People underesti...

When it comes to solar energy, we've long known that solar panels must be placed in areas with as much access to sunlight as possible for optimal power output. But even then, clouds or bad weather can interrupt energy production.  Now, it turns o...

File this under: All we want for Christmas.

Wendy's announced this week that it will once again offer free Frostys for an entire year (yes, really) with the purchase of a "Frosty Tag."

The $1 purchase price of the tag at participating stores can be used to redeem a free Jr. Frosty with every purchase (however big or small) made at the fast food chain in 2016. The catch? You just have to hurry up and buy them before they run out.

What's more, Wendy's will donate 90 cents of every $1 purchase to the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption, which works to help increase the adoption rates for children in foster care.

But beware, Frosty fanatics! The golden tickets are not available at every Wendy's location. We'd recommend calling your local location ahead to save yourself the trip (and the heartbreak).

Indulging your love of creamy, chocolatey goodness and supporting a great cause? Sounds pretty sweet to us.
