Jonathan Van Ness has hit back at Sean Penn after he made an array of questionable comments about masculinity. The Oscar-winning actor criticised men for becoming “quite feminised” and explained that the way to respect women isn’t to “become them”.

He told The Independent: “I am in the club that believes that men in American culture have become wildly feminised… I don’t think that [in order] to be fair to women, we should become them.” When asked to clarify his opinion, he attributed a lot of his issues to “cowardly genes”. “I think that men have, in my view, become quite feminised,” Penn continued. “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.” After seeing the comments on Twitter, Van Ness swiftly hit back at the 61-year-old’s remarks. “First of all I’m binary,” they wrote on 2 February. “Second, @SeanPenn your remarks are ignorant, transphobic, and devoid of intelligence.

My cowardly genes have more strength, resolve, and beauty than you could understand. Sean is suffering from toxic masculinity & needs to watch Getting Curious.” Van Ness’ message was a quote tweet including a screenshot of the Daily Mail’s coverage of what Penn said, which she also criticised. “@MailOnline this headline and entire story is so tired,” the Queer Eye star added.
