Your woke bae Matt McGorry has gone to bat against an enormous head named Piers Morgan, thereby solidifying his “woke bae” status while fighting valiantly in what will likely be a dudefight bloodbath because duh, it’s Piers Morgan.
Sometime today, Piers Morgan threw up all over his keyboard and the bigger chunks pressed down on the keys in such a way that an article was composed. The name of that article is: “Was Ellen DeGeneres a sexist pig for treating Chris Hemsworth like a slab of meat last night – or was it ‘just a bit of fun’? Time to cut the hypocrisy, ladies, and be consistent about sexism.”
The no-thinking piece reads like an 8th grader who just learned the term “sexist pig” writing in their diary in order to make sure they know how to use “sexist pig” in a sentence. Piers is mad because last night at the People’s Choice Awards, Ellen made a joke and flashed a picture of a shirtless Chris Hemsworth.
Now, the words that flowed from Piers Morgan’s crayon are obviously stupid for reasons that don’t need to be explained in depth because refuting a Piers Morgan argument isn’t hard. Briefly, his entire reasoning necessarily predicates on the idea that men and women are treated equally, ergo, an action by Ellen DeGeneres should be taken the same way as it would be if done by a man. Because, ya know, our entire society has been built on a foundation of female-on-male sexism and we destroyed the patriarchy when ladies got to wear pants in public. So, whatever.
