British star Thandiwe Newton has criticised Academy Award-winning actor Sean Penn for his current feedback that American males have gotten ”wildly feminised”. Penn, who gained Oscar trophies for The Milk and Mystic River, had late final month raised eyebrows after he stated that being masculine shouldn’t be all the time poisonous.
Newton posted a retort on social media, calling the 61-year-old actor a ”jibbering idiot”.
”@SeanPenn Dude what are you SAY-ING?? Like for REAL? You’re a jibbering FOOL. you was once attractive however now you’re simply tragic,” she wrote alongside a hyperlink to an article about Penn’s remarks. ”In entrance of your DAUGHTER!? That poor little mite. Thank God her Mum’s so dope. Please cease ruining the brilliance of #LicoricePizza with this nonsense,” she added.
Penn first made the remarks throughout an interview with an American newspaper.
”I’m within the membership that believes that males in American tradition have turn out to be wildly feminized. I don’t assume that being a brute or having insensitivity or disrespect for ladies is something to do with masculinity, or ever did. However I don’t assume that (so as) to be honest to ladies, we must always turn out to be them,” he had stated.
Later, in one other interview with British publication The Impartial, the actor was requested to make clear his feedback.
”I feel that males have, for my part, turn out to be fairly feminised. I’ve these very sturdy ladies in my life who don’t take masculinity as an indication of oppression towards them. There are a variety of, I feel, cowardly genes that result in individuals surrendering their denims and placing on a skirt,” he stated.
On the time, he was selling his movie Flag Day alongside his daughter, Dylan Penn.
The Impartial in its article said that Penn’s assertion on males changing into ”fairly feminised” left his daughter ”quiet, staring into area”.
