As if! Alicia Silverstone, the star of 1995's Clueless among films, is letting trolls know that she has no patience for the way society talks about women's bodies in 2022.

Silverstone, 45, came across a photo of herself entitled "Alicia Silverstone Candid Fat Photo." Silverstone took to TikTok to let everybody know exactly what she thought of that caption.

Damn. I think I look good 😂🤷🏼‍♀️ #abcdefu



Silverstone's response didn't take much to get the point across. She just gave a grimace and a hearty middle finger to cap it off.

"Damn, I think I look good," she captioned the video.

Silverstone has been the target of negative press about her body plenty of times in the past. After taking on the role of Batgirl in Joel Schumacher's Batman & Robin, she was shocked and dismayed when paparazzi made fun of her body, calling her "FatGirl."

"It was hurtful but I knew they were wrong," she said.

"I wasn't confused. I knew that it was not right to make fun of someone's body shape, that doesn't seem like the right thing to be doing to a human."

Thankfully Silverstone's thick skin kept her safe as she endured attacks on her body in her early 20s.

"I didn't say 'f— you' and come out like a warrior," she noted,

"...but I would just walk away and go, 'Okay, I know what that is and I'm done, I'm not going near that again.' "

Many Hollywood actresses face similar criticisms on a daily basis, and the pressure for women to look "perfect" across media has never been so powerful.

More middle fingers like Silverstone's could undo the harmful messages of these body shamers.

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
