Brad Pitt has proudly embraced the “woke culture.” After arriving at a film premiere and walking the red carpet in a skirt, the veteran actor did an interview, slamming Clint Eastwood’s style of masculinity and calling it “exhausting.” That’s when “real men” fired back.
Brad Pitt opened up, sharing his thoughts about masculinity during an interview. This came on the heels of the two-time Oscar winner strolling the red carpet in Germany wearing a “linen skirt.” According to TODAY, when the veteran actor was asked about his “fashion-forward” choice, Pitt responded by saying, “We’re all going to die, so let’s mess it up.”
In an interview with the Financial Times, Pitt, who was born in Oklahoma and raised in Missouri, claimed Clint Eastwood-type masculinity was overwhelming and outdated. “It’s just exhausting to be anything but who you are,” Pitt said. “You have to understand, at least where I grew up, we’re more the Clint Eastwood character: you hold everything within, you’re capable, you can deal with anything, you don’t show weakness. I see that in my dad and the older generations of actors, and, man, it’s exhausting.”
After making those remarks, Pitt was immediately attacked on social media by fans who claimed this was all a PR stunt to rehabilitate his image after his ex-wife Angelia Jolie’s countersuit that alleged the Hollywood star was physically abusive to her and two of their children during a private jet flight six years ago.
Not only was the hashtag #BradPittIsAnAbuser trending on Twitter, but he also got blasted by “real men” who were offended by his Clint Eastwood remark. “Brad Pitt. From Tyler Durden in 1999, one of the most badass characters ever. To wearing a skirt on the red carpet in 2022. This encapsulates the degeneration of western society, real men need to rise now more than ever before,” posted one male Twitter user. “Don’t get infected by this feminist disease.”

“There are those who ran into the Twin Towers on 9/11 when others were running away,” Josh L. wrote about Pitt’s statement on masculinity. “Men who fought in Europe and the Pacific…these are men who complain little if any and gave so much. I’m really sick of these metrosexuals who think so highly of themselves for redefining what men and women are.”
“If a man wants to wear a skirt then he is not a valuable man to society,” posted another man. “We need strong, competent masculine men to uphold society, not feminine b*tch boys who can’t do anything.” Some men were deeply offended by Pitt’s remarks. “Being a perennial child is so much easier than having to grow up,” one male commenter posted. “Being handed money through the Hollyweird network to be an influence peddler rather than have to actually ‘work’ to take care of family and friends as ‘men’ do is exhausting at times. But that’s who ‘real men’ like Clint Eastwood really are.”
Another male commenter named “Stu” was also outraged. “So, it’s exhausting? Being a man?” he asked. “Doing what men have had to do throughout the ages? Yes. It is exhausting. Dangerous. Sometimes unappreciated. But it’s what real men do. Men who believe in truth. Honor. Dignity. Looking cute for the camera isn’t about being a man. It’s the exact opposite. Pansy.”
In 2019, Brad Pitt claimed his film, Ad Astra, was about “exploring the theme of toxic masculinity and its detrimental effects,” he said in an interview. “In retrospect, what James [Gray] and I were digging at was that definition of masculinity,” Pitt said. “We’ve both grown up in an era where we were asked to be strong…and there is a value in that, but [also a] barrier because you’re hiding some of those things you feel ashamed of. We all hide and carry individual pain and wounds.”
Pitt has also voiced his thoughts on politics in the past. After Donald Trump won the 2016 election, he spoke out. “Man, I never thought that would happen,” Pitt said of Brexit in an interview. “Same way I can’t bring myself to think that Trump will be in charge. In the simplest terms, what brings us together is good, and what separates us is bad.”
The Troy star explained he has a hard time comprehending the politics of those from middle America. “Coming from Oklahoma, southern Missouri, which leans more toward a Trump voice, I try to understand it,” Pitt added about Trump’s victory. “It seems that the people who suffer the most end up betting for the party that would hurt them. And so I try to understand where they’re coming from.”

Just because a man doesn’t spread his feelings and opinions all over social media like Brad Pitt and so many other celebrities, doesn’t mean there’s something wrong with them. Good grief. Hands off of Clint and any other man with the dignity and sense to keep their private business off of social media.
BRAD PITT BABBLES LIKE HE’S A HOMOSEXUAL.
What a twit! Did he sashay when he walked in her dress, sorry, he sashay?
When Angelina Jolie cut him and bled him that changed him forever ,A man in a dress attempting to stay relevant when his career is dying is shameful .But that’s Hollow wood for you ..Can’t give it up and will do anything to create controversy to get attention . Shame too great actor but without dignity.
What is a bradpitt?
HEHEHE,
You said it best but last; “Seems that the people who suffer the most end up betting for the party that would hurt them.” I grew up democratic, voted that way for years; Dutifully. The Clinton’s started my eye opening journey to the reality of the party and every year I grew further away! I have seen people I love lose everything they worked their whole lives to have while clinging to the delusion that the Democrats will save the world and unify America! Well, look what that got us! I’d give anything if Biden could do ONE THING HE PROMISED but he hasn’t!…unless he promised to destroy every security we had when he walked into the Oval Office for the first time as president; Then, I agree; He has done that.
I can’t believe that I EVER liked him
BRAD PITT CAN KISS MY ROYAL BEHIND, HE IS A SCREWBALL, A VERY PATHETIC LIBERAL MORON WHO HAS BOUGHT THE LEFT WING FEM SICKNESS AND NONESINCE, ON TOP OF THAT, HE IS A TOTAL JERK, MEN DON’T WEAR SKIRTS, MEN DON’T CALL MEN TOXIC, AND MEN DON’T GET TO ACCUSE OTHER MEN OF BEING TOXIC, WHEN THEY ARE WALKING AROUND IN WOMENS CLOTHES, THIS IS WOKE BULL CRAP, THE LEFT WING COMMUNIST ARE USING THIS KIND OF CRAP ALONG WITH FAKE CLIMATE CHANGE BOLOGNA TO GET US ALL HATING EACH OTHER, PITT HAS FELL FOR EVERY BIT OF THE COMMUNIST AGENDA, AND DON’T KNOW HOW TO HANDLE LIFE, HE HAS JUST ENDED HIS CAREER, I WILL CERTAINLY NEVER WATCH ANOTHER ONE OF HIS PITIFUL MOVIES,
Sounds like Pitt just has a lot of confusion. Doesn’t understand what a man is, thinks masculinity is toxic, does t know how men dress, is in pain living a sheltered life with no money worries.. terrible for society
Brad Pitt ain’t shit.
BEING A REAL WOMAN IS JUST AS EXHAUSTING AS BEING A REAL MAN. MAN UP PANSY!
And who among us thinks this azzwipe should be listened to.
How would he know, he has never been a real man.
Brad Pitt sucks maybe he wants to be a woman
I think scientists should form a study to explore causes of the mental disease that affects people who get into the entertainment business. One would think that low I.Q. would be a prime factor, but some of these people that are affected are clearly intelligent people. They just don’t seem to be able to put 2 and 2 together and come up with 4.
Or maybe they have that mental illness already, and that’s why they go into show business?
