Though Sean Penn won hearts and applause on Oscar night due to his loud proclamation for gay marriage, it sounds like he needs some training in the appreciation of women's rights now. Penn, known equally for his amazing acting skills on-screen and volatile temper off-screen, didn't hold back during a recent run-in with ex-wife Madonna. When Penn spotted Madge at a post Academy Awards bash with Jesus Luz he proclaimed, "Another child?" Okay, that part is pretty funny. However, The Daily Mail has exhaustive portrayal of the former "Poison Penn's" and their tumultuous marriage - including the time he tied her to a chair and threatened to beat her with a baseball bat! Fast-forward to his marriage with Robin Wright-Penn and realize she's allegedly not fairing much better. Read a Penn Oscar rant here, where one writer expresses his extreme distaste for Sean's speech, including his lack of "thank you" to his long-suffering wife. I realize this isn't particularly current news. It's just that I'm shocked to learn certain well known, strong, high-profile women have been abused. I'm depressed Rihanna has decided to get back together with Chris Brown, so I guess this kind of issue is on my mind. Abuse is such a serious issue and, though I realize it's scary and can be perceived as humiliating, I really wish more women were able to speak out about their experiences. More so, I wish the type of men prone to violence were educated in how to handle anger so awful situations, like the ones we've read about of late, wouldn't happen at all.
