Dan Levy is encouraging male viewers to denounce Shane Gillis’ recent controversial Saturday Night Live monologue, noting he’d been personally left “speechless” after watching it.

On Sunday evening, the Schitt’s Creek star shared a short video on Instagram in which he called Shane out for his much-scrutinised SNL remarks.

“Women wearing short shorts at the gym does not make them whores. It makes the men calling them whores misogynists,” Dan began. “There’s a difference there.

“By the way, I’ve seen more men’s nipples at the gym than I’ve seen women showing their bodies off.”

The Emmy winner continued: “I’m speechless that something like that can exist on live national television. 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 in which women are sexually assaulted and it’s a ‘conversation’ as opposed to a ‘crime’.”
