Thandiwe Newton called out Sean Penn over his recent comments about men being too "feminized" in American culture. The actor recently doubled down on comments he made to a British newspaper in which he argued that he believes men are finding it fashionable or empowering to adopt more feminine traits and reject masculinity.
Speaking to The Independent, Penn stated that he believes "cowardly genes" are to blame for what he sees as masculinity becoming vilified in American culture.
In response, the "Westworld" actress took to Twitter to sound off on Penn by calling him a "jibbering fool." Thandiwe Newton called out Sean Penn for his recent comments on American men. (Cindy Ord/Getty Images for CORE - Taylor Hill/FilmMagic) "Dude what are you SAY-ING??
Like for REAL? You’re a jibbering FOOL. MF you used to be sexy but now you’re just tragic," she wrote in a tweet Monday. In his latest interview, which he did alongside his daughter, Dylan, Penn held firm to what he previously stated regarding his views on masculinity. "I think that men have, in my view, become quite feminised," he stated. "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."
