Dan Levy calls Shane Gillis a ‘misogynist’ for saying women ‘dress like whores’ at the gym in super short shorts
“Also I haven’t been to the gym in so long. I didn’t know women just dress like whores now.”
“Also I haven’t been to the gym in so long. I didn’t know women just dress like whores now.”

Comedian Shane Gillis guest-hosted Saturday Night Live this weekend, mostly taking aim at himself in a series of self-deprecating jokes about his own weight. In talking about how much shame he felt hitting the public gym as a self-described fat guy, Gillis noted that the women "just dress like whores now." Schitt's Creek co-creator Dan Levy took issue with the jokes, and he didn't even care that got him "in trouble with the internet."
"I try to go to a public gym," Gillis said. "Going to the public gym as a fat guy, especially in New York, it's a nightmare, dude. It's just the hottest gay guys you've ever seen. They're jacked, and they look at me like 'Yeah, right.' I know, dude.
"Also I haven't been to the gym in so long. I didn't know women just dress like whores now," he joked.
"Look, I'm sorry," Gillis said to laughter. "There's no other way to describe... Have you seen it? I've seen it. The shorts?" The audience laughed, many of them likely having seen the shorts. "Have you seen the shorts? Those neon. They're like the only— they're like artificial bait colored," Gillis joked.
"The wrinkles," he went on to laughs, "the wrinkles go like around the cheeks and all combine at the butthole. And don't look. You're not allowed to look. For real, don't look, because they are filming. I'm in the background of like 10 TikToks right now."

View on X"Ffs," Levy posted before launching into his diatribe. "Women wearing short shorts to the gym does not make them whores. It makes the men calling them whores misogynists. There's a difference there." Gillis also made the distinction of "dressing like whores" as opposed to actually being whores. There's a difference.
"By the way, I've seen more men's nipples at the gym than I've ever seen women showing their bodies off, but I'm speechless that something like that can exist on live national television," Levy said. Gillis had also noted that there were plenty of jacked men at the gym, too.
"And to be perfectly honest, more men need to be standing up in opposition to it because it's complacency that has created the environment with which women are sexually assaulted, and it's a conversation as opposed to a crime," Levy went on. There have been countless videos posted to TikTok of women filming themselves working out at gyms while wearing super skimpy gear and then getting angry when men take note of them and their clothing.
Women act as though they want to be objectified, because women do appreciate and court male attention, and then get angry when they get it. Of course, they get angry when they don't get it, too.
"Men need to be defending women more," Levy went on. "This is not a women's issue. This is an everybody issue, because the more that men objectify women in the media, the more that other men see them as objects and treat them as objects. They are not objects. They are superior human beings to men. Okay. And I'm sorry if this gets me in trouble with the internet, but f*ck."
Levy's take, apparently, is that women are better than men but also need men to defend them and their superiority. Odd take.
