I haven't been to the gym in ages, I didn't know women only dress like whores now? Gillis said on the late night show.

She continued, "Look, I'm sorry, there's no way to describe [it]. See? I've seen it. See the shorts? See the shorts? Those neons are like fake bait. And the wrinkles go around the cheeks and they're all next to the hole. And because they won't let you look at the footage. I'm on 10 TikToks right now in the background.

Dan Levy also joked on social media, saying, "Women wearing short shorts doesn't make them whores. This causes men to call them misogynists. Here is the difference. By the way, I've seen more men's nipples in the gym than women showing off their bodies."

He continued: I am speechless that such a thing can exist on live national television. "And to be perfectly honest, more men need to stand up to it, because it's self-gratification that has created an environment where women are being sexually assaulted and it's a 'conversation' as opposed to a 'crime'."
