The fiery actress, Melissa McCarthy, who has starred in recent hits such as "The Heat," "Identity Thief" and "Bridesmaids," is not afraid to speak her mind about issues she cares about. Albeit she puts things in a funny way often, this time she seems to take a more direct approach, according to USA Today.

Lately, she has spoke about sexism and weight loss. But she was also quick to point out that shopping for plus-sized clothes is a little like being separated from the pack, in terms of women who are of normal size.

The "Mike and Molly" actress recently said that shopping for plus-sized clothes in most stores means segregation.

In an article on the Today Show website, the actress told More Magazine (for their June issue) a few things about what it's like to do this.

"People don't stop at size 12," McCarthy told More. "I feel like there's a big thing missing where you can't dress to your mood above a certain number. [Malls] segregate plus-size [women]. It's an odd thing that you can't go shopping with your friends because your store is upstairs hidden by the tire section. We'll put you gals over there because we don't want to see you and you probably don't want to be seen."

McCarthy is a 44-year-old mother of two daughters (Vivian, 8, and Georgette, 5) and she is basically trying to set a good example for them. The segregation issue is apparent not just at malls, but department stores and other retailers.

"When I told my daughters there had never been a female president, they were like, 'What! How is that possible?' I have an overactive sense of justice," McCarthy said. "I want women to realize you don't have to work for the company. You can run the company. I want the scope for them to be endless."

In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, McCarthy revealed that she once confronted a critic who had made nasty comments about how she looked in the movie "Tammy," who ironically approached her to give her praise while at a promotion for the movie "St. Vincent."

"Are you the one who wrote I was only a good actor when I looked more attractive and that my husband should never be allowed to direct me because he allowed me to look so homely?" she scornfully asked the critic.

McCarthy is set to next star in the upcoming "Ghostbusters" remake, which is expected to be out in 2016.
