Emma Stone isn't afraid to call her man out when he steps out of bounds!

The actress interrupted Andrew Garfield during a press day for their upcoming flick The Amazing Spider-Man 2 after he made a sexist comment regarding his costume.

An adorable kid in the audience asked Garfield, "How did Spider-Man get his costume?"

The Brit actor responded, "He made it. He made it with his bare hands. He sewed it. He took some sewing classes and some needlepoint classes. It's kind of a feminine thing to do. He made a very masculine costume out of a very feminine…"

Stone interjected, "It's feminine how?"

The audience, including Jamie Foxx who was sitting up on the panel with the real-life couple, all audibly reacted to the comment.

"It's amazing how you took that as an insult," Garfield explained.

But Stone replied, "No, I'm not taking that as an insult, I'm asking how it's feminine."

And that's when the backtracking began…

Garfield nervously tried to wiggle his way out of the doghouse by defending his use of the word "feminine" and telling the room that he felt that was a compliment.

"It's feminine because I would say femininity is about more delicacy and precision and detail work and craftsmanship," Garfield said.

"Like my mother, she's an amazing craftsman. She in fact made my first Spider-Man costume when I was 3, so I use it as a compliment. To compliment the feminine not just in women, but in men as well. We all have feminine in us."
