Actor Sean Penn has commented on the perilous state of masculinity in the west, remarking that men shouldn’t have to become ‘feminized’ in order to show respect for women.
The movie star made the comments during a sit down interview with The Independent.
Penn was quizzed on a previous statement in which he asserted, “I don’t think that being a brute or having insensitivity or disrespect for women has anything to do with masculinity, or ever did. But I don’t think that [in order] to be fair to women, we should become them.”
Asked to explain that comment, Penn responded, “I have these very strong women in my life who do not take masculinity as a sign of oppression toward them. There are a lot of, I think, cowardly genes that lead to people surrendering their jeans and putting on a skirt.”

OK, reading the comments, I guess I have to take my assessment of him back.
This is how much I know of popular culture figures since I virtually never watch TV nor waste my time on movies and other forms of media”entertainment”.
Thank God he got something right.
- This is how much I know of popular culture figures since I virtually never watch TV nor waste my time on movies and other forms of media”entertainment”-
Same here. At ‘trivia night’ fundraisers, I am the worst in pop culture subject matters.
Quite the stretch to refer to this nutbag as a ‘movie star’...
Don’t need to read any more.
Not surprised at all and I don’t think Penn is responsible in any way for the decades long shift towards cultural emasculation of men. Maybe Charlize Theron’s son transitioning at 6 had something to do with his “coming out” as it were. It was pretty clear when it happened a few years ago Sean wasn’t buying any of that (her) crap.
Has Sean Penn been cancelled by the woke brigade yet?
I will bet when Sean was dating Charlize Theron and her kid came out as trans- that’s when the fire went out!
He is correct on this, even if he is wrong on other stuff.
Yeah. Charlize Theron. Who now raises her adopted black sons as girls. Go figure.
Wow....the day has come when I actually agree with Sean Penn!!!!!
He has been popping up in news stories pretty regularly, I guess he finally Spent the Reward Money he got for turning in El Chapo
A broken clock is right twice a day.
sean penn is right maybe twice a decade, if that.
Did I say TWICE????
Sorry.
ONCE , if that much.
