Sean Penn: 'Feminized' American men suffering from 'cowardly genes'
[Washington Examiner] Sean Penn believes American men are suffering from "cowardly genes" that have stripped away their masculinity.

In a series of recent interviews, the 61-year-old, two-time Academy Award-winner criticized American culture, saying men are being feminized by it, "surrendering their jeans and putting on a skirt."

"I am in the club that believes that men in American culture have become wildly feminized," Penn said while speaking to i News.

"I don’t think that being a brute or having insensitivity or disrespect for women [has] anything to do with masculinity, or ever did," he said. "But I don’t think that [in order] to be fair to women, we should become them."

The Mystic River actor was asked for clarification regarding his comments in a later interview, in which he said American men seem to find it fashionable and empowering to embrace traditionally feminine attributes.

"I think that men have, in my view, become quite feminized," he said. "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."

Penn has a history of criticizing contemporary culture. In July, he called the idea of cancel culture "ludicrous."

"When we're destroying careers like that, what are we really achieving?" Penn asked. "Or you look at politicians — I give a big nod to anyone that’s willing to enter the public arena who is doing so because they give a damn."

#1 He may be more correct than he actually realizes. Yes, "suffering" from something and it may very well be genetic, or a hormonal altering substance.

Parthenogenesis

Species that alternate between parthenogenesis and bisexual reproduction (heterogenetic species) often do so in response to changes in population density, food availability, or other environmental conditions.

.....or modern medicine, chemistry and politics. Let the gender insanity and Mengelian human experiments continue.

#3 /\ Along with premature and permanent female obesity, I have suspected such outcomes for a very long time.

Perhaps we defy nature at our own peril ?

#5 Feminization of boys starts in the public school. Female teachers prefer to teach to females. Strong willed boys are medicated. Average boys are browbeaten into submission.

#7 Men are considered criminals by default in today's society. Young boys, seeing no profit to be gained in becoming a man, will seek to become something else.

#8 Goes way beyond the public schools. Private Christian schoolteachers also promote pussification.

Our entire Hollywood-Woke-PravdaMedia garbage culture treats robust masculinity as either a relic of an earlier, primitive era or else a sinister threat to all that's good and righteous.

And now even our philo-Alphabet People military is in on the action. The only exception left is the rapper retards' feral yout shit-culture.

#10 I remember CBS news stories in the 70's about angry women calling men 'male chauvinistic pigs'... another but older cause of today's wussification.

#11 Because it needs to be said again and again.

Friends and I were pointing this all out back in the 90s and were laughed at, called crazy.....until Friends happened.

#12 Certainly he is correct in regards to Hollywood which seems to import many men from Scotland and Australia.
