If you come at the Queen, you best not miss.

That's the important lesson MLB player Matt Garza learnt when he tried to "educate" actress, activist and all around boss, Jessica Chastain, on birth control.

It all went down after Chastain tweeted her dismay about changes to U.S. health insurance policy.

Garza, evidently a champion mansplainer, decided to jump in.

There's a lot to unpack in that one tweet. Luckily, Twitter was up for the job.

The first and most obvious criticism was that Garza himself became a father at the tender age of 18. How's that for hypocrisy?

The second cluster of criticism centred around the audacity of a man lecturing a woman about her body on the internet -- something that seems to happen only once every half a second.

And finally, as things got messier and messier, people just started dragging Garza's playing.

Oooof. That is a perfect storm of criticism you've just endured, Matt. Nobody messes with Chastain.
