Ego Nwodim responds to Shane Gillis’ joke about women’s gym clothes
Comedian Shane Gillis joked about women’s workout clothes during his monologue on Saturday Night Live.
He said women who wear short gym shorts “dress like whores,” prompting criticism online.

What people are saying
Whore reporting for duty
Women wearing short shorts at the gym does not make them whores. It makes the men calling them whores misogynists. There’s a difference there.
I haven’t been to the gym in so long I didn’t know women just dress like whores now?
