WWE Diva AJ Lee is getting in on the #GiveDivasAChance movement with a series of tweets to Stephanie McMahon. McMahon first tweeted actress Patricia Arquette about her speech at the Oscars about women’s rights and wage equality for women:
Thank You @PattyArquette for having the courage to fight for #WomensRights on such a grand platform. #UseYourVoice pic.twitter.com/q71acxMExU

AJ Lee then responded to Stephanie with some pointed observations about the gender inequality that exists in WWE.
