Thandiwe Newton calls Sean Penn a “gibbering fool” for “feminised” men comments
recently claimed “cowardly genes” have led people to “surrender their jeans and put on a skirt”.The actor was asked about his views on masculinity by the Independent, after stating that he “believes that men in American culture have become wildly feminised” in a prior interview.Asked to clarify his comments, Penn said: “I think that men have, in my view, become quite feminised. 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.”Now, Newton has responded to the comments via Twitter.
