Sean Penn offered his thoughts on the #MeToo movement, saying the spirit of it is “to divide men and women.”Penn was on NBC’s “Today” on Monday morning with Natascha McElhone to discuss their new Hulu series “The First.” McElhone said the show’s strong female characters were informed by the #MeToo movement. “I’d like to think that none of it was influenced by what they call the movement of #MeToo,” he said. “I think it’s influenced by the things that are developing in terms of the empowerment of women who’ve been acknowledging each other and being acknowledged by men. 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. Even when people try to discuss it in a nuanced way, the nuance itself is attacked.”Morales asked Penn if the #MeToo movement had gotten too big.
