The Left is angrier over Shane Gillis’s joke than illegal immigrant violence against women

Published Updated



Social media platforms were rife with left-wing rage this week over Shane Gillis’s monologue from last week’s Saturday Night Live. The comedian’s remarks were about some of the lewd and lascivious clothing often worn by women while working out at fitness centers. Critics called the monologue misogynistic, sexist, and an attack on women. The result was a backlash by feminists, weak, left-wing, effeminate men, and other irrational minds unable to comprehend comedy. They wanted retribution of biblical proportions, such as boycotting SNL and canceling Gillis — essentially the modern equivalent of hail, locusts, fire, and brimstone.

Resistance against Gillis became the latest battle cry for feminists in 2026. But in doing so, they revealed just how unsupportive of women feminists actually are. For all the social media outrage and condemnation of Gillis’s joke as an attack on women, the noise became a stark reminder of the lack of outrage these very same people showed regarding actual attacks on women, specifically the numerous incidents of violence against women committed by illegal immigrants — the same illegal immigrants President Donald Trump, the Department of Homeland Security, and Immigration and Customs Enforcement want to remove from the country.
