Sean Penn Makes Sense of #MeToo

“This is a movement that was largely shouldered by a kind of receptacle of the salacious,”

 

“Well, we don’t know what’s a fact in many of the cases. Salacious is as soon as you call something a movement that is really a series of many individual accusers, victims, accusations, some of which are unfounded.”

 

“The spirit of much of what has been the #MeToo movement is to divide men and women,”

 

“I don’t want it to be a trend, and I’m very suspicious of a movement that gets glommed on to in great stridency and rage and without nuance,” he said. “And even when people try to discuss it in a nuanced way, the nuance itself is attacked. I think it’s too black and white. In most things that are very important, it’s really good to just slow down.”
