This sketch was uploaded on SNL’s official YouTube channel just 21 hours ago. In it, Molly Shannon plays a high school theater teacher who is openly handsy and sexually aggressive toward a male student. She gropes him by the crotch, makes sexual comments, and the whole thing is played for laughs.

If the genders were reversed — a male teacher doing the exact same things to a female student — this would be universally condemned as blatant sexual harassment and the sketch would never have aired.

Yet here we are, with thousands of comments calling it "hilarious" and praising Molly Shannon’s performance.

This is a textbook example of the double standard: sexual aggression is funny and quirky when a woman does it to a man, but predatory and career-ending when a man does it to a woman.

Thoughts?
