Saturday Night Live just aired something that needs to be called out.

During Season 52, episode 3, Shane Gillis opened his monologue by describing women at the gym as 'dressing like whores.' That's not edgy comedy—it's just demeaning. And NBC let millions hear it.

I started a petition because we can't keep letting this slide. When powerful platforms broadcast misogyny to millions, it normalizes disrespect toward women. In a world where violence against women is already rising, jokes that dehumanize women aren't harmless—they're fuel. Media companies have a responsibility to think about what message they're sending.

This petition asks for:

- A public apology from Shane Gillis

- Accountability from NBC and SNL for what they choose to air

- A shift toward comedy that doesn't rely on degrading women

If this matters to you—if you're tired of watching networks treat misogyny as acceptable entertainment—consider signing and sharing. Real change happens when people make it clear these standards aren't okay.

What would you do if someone said this about women you care about? Anyone else feel like this crossed a line?

This orange man-baby needs to keep my country's name out of his mouth!

Just curious. It's because I've noticed some oddities in their reporting on Harris. It seems the most prevalent theme is "Should she run"? Followed closely by some paid contributors claiming they've spoken to whoever they hang out with, who say she shouldn't run. I've seen that on CNN and MSNOW. They never EVER mention Harris without this caveat.

One year to the end of his second term, with the control of Whitehouse and Congress, he is still talking about a concept of healthcare plan. With midterms potentially bringing the change of control in the House, it will be hard to get a healthcare plan.

Let's start with a segment from a while back. Katy Tur and Ashley Parker discuss Kamala Harris's efforts to connect with Gen Z voters, question the purpose of her digital rebrand, and cite anonymous sources who don't think she should run for president again. But when the conversation turns to Gavin Newsom, the tone changes considerably. I think this segment is a good example of the disparity in how the two potential candidates are covered.

Yout thoughts?

BTW, I wonder what was so funny?

Source: I made this video. These clips are combined from a few random episodes of Matt and Shane’s Secret Podcast and Shane Gillis’s special Live in Austin (2021). I did not have to search extensively to find strange clips like these, so I assume Shane says similar things about “hot kids” on many more of his podcast episodes.

In these clips, Shane Gillis basically keeps saying he finds 14-18 year old children to be “hottest p\*ssy” over and over again. He even essentially repeats the SNL joke about him drooling over “women dressing like wh\\\*res” but does it about 14 year old volleyball players.

Shane Gillis also admits to googling underage girls. So I guess that is supposed to be funny comedian humor we just don’t get or something as well?

It’s fairly clear to me that Shane was not being funny, ironic, or purposely offensive in these clips. The supposed “humor” seems to come from Shane saying taboo things he genuinely believes, under the assumption that everyone secretly agrees with him but is too afraid to say them out loud. Essentially, Shane is saying, “Come on, we all know kids are hot. You guys are just too ashamed to say it.” His male audience in these clips laughs and cheers at the idea and his supposed bravery.

90% of Shane Gillis’s humor seems to consist of saying taboo things out loud that loser (mainly white?) chud men believe but can’t say to anyone.

Shane Gillis’s humor is basically a way for loser guys to feel OK about being scared that their girlfriend or wife slept with a Black guy (Shane’s previous SNL monologue), believing that all women dress like whores (Shane’s latest SNL monologue), or, in this clip, believing that teenage girls are hot.

So Shane essentially exists as a validation mechanism for the loser chud men of the world and their sick thoughts. Shane Gillis is their fucked-up version of validation therapy. Essentially “your sick thoughts are valid, you are not weird or creepy, you are cool like me and don’t ever change.”

That’s why I expect so many of these weirdos to show up in the comments defending Shane. He validates their weird, sad thoughts and their weird, sad lives. And when someone criticizes Shane, they feel like someone is criticizing them personally.

I'm constantly torn- On one hand, he keeps doing idiotic stuff, and we want to laugh at him- when we're not grinding our teeth about the costs to the average citizen. On the other hand, he's clearly far gone in dementia. My father has dementia, and it hurts to see so many people laughing at a man who's clearly not competent.
Honestly, I really want to see him removed, and all the enablers who have kept him in office tried for ALL THE CRIMES!
