In a recent interview, liberal actor Sean Penn took a shot at anti-vaxxers but also took a surprising stance against men in skirts, blaming “cowardly genes.”
Penn’s daughter and action film “Flag Day” co-star Dylan Penn was also present during the joint interview and the “Independent” pointed out according to the interviewer, she went “quiet” and “stared into space” while he was discussing the situation.
“I have these very strong women in my life who do not take masculinity as a sign of oppression toward them,” Penn explained.
Penn then noted, “There are a lot of, I think, cowardly genes that lead to people surrendering their jeans and putting on a skirt.”
In regards to anti-vaxxers, Penn suggested, “Sometimes people take their privilege and freedom as a right to be anti-citizen, to be failed citizens.”
“Those who will search out the kind of bogus science that would give them legitimacy (when it comes to) not being vaccinated,” Penn insisted.
Conservatives celebrated his stance on men in skirts, as ACT for America’s Brigitte Gabriel stressed, “Sean Penn is 100% right. Men in America are afraid to be men.”

Men in America are afraid to be men.
LGBTQ activist Charlotte Clymer and other liberals, predictably, had harsh words for Penn, as she made it personal in a tweet.
“I feel sorry for Sean Penn. He won an Oscar for playing one of the most iconic queer leaders in American history, and yet, even the preparation he did for that role failed to liberate him from the prison of his own gendered insecurity. Being Sean Penn is punishment in itself,” Clymer suggested.
