I have these very strong women in my life who do not take masculinity as a sign of oppression toward them.”The actor added, “There are a lot of, I think, cowardly genes that lead to people surrendering their jeans and putting on a skirt.”Related: Sean Penn & Crispin Glover in drag?
Just WTF is The Beaver Trilogy?The comments follow remarks Penn made earlier this month, which also criticized men becoming more feminine.“I am in the club that believes that men in American culture have become wildly feminized,” Penn told UK outlet iNews. “I don’t think that being a brute or having insensitivity or disrespect for women is 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.”Penn, who won an Oscar for playing LGBTQ rights icon Harvey Milk, most recently appeared in Licorice Pizza, playing Golden Age Hollywood star William Holden.Since his comments, Twitter had exploded with criticism for the actor…I'm sorry, but is this the same Sean Penn who won an Oscar (and several other awards) for portraying gay icon Harvey Milk?
