Oh dear, here we go again. If you needed another reminder of the state of our nation, Jimmy Kimmel is here to deliver it.
These days, it’s tough to maintain a positive outlook about reproductive rights and the right to choose. With absurd state laws coming into play and Roe v. Wade facing serious challenges, America is in dire need of support from all who champion bodily autonomy, privacy, women’s rights, and freedom. But what if a large number of men are completely unaware of the implications of the Supreme Court’s Roe v. Wade decision? Even worse, what if they mistake Roe v. Wade for a recent MMA match? Kimmel’s late-night show, Jimmy Kimmel Live, ventured into the streets to find out.
In a segment called “Lie Witness News,” the show asked various men if they had caught the latest big fight between two fictional MMA fighters named Roe and Wade. Kimmel sets the stage by noting, “Sixty-four percent of Americans support Roe v. Wade, and overturning it would be a disaster for women’s rights and personal freedoms.” However, as he points out, that’s not always the sentiment across the country.
The responses were a mix of shocking and disheartening. Although the segment is intended to be humorous, it’s hard to find the laughter. When asked about the “big MMA heavyweight fight Roe v. Wade,” the answers were dismal. One man stated, “I like Wade. Doesn’t care if he’s going to get knocked out,” while another mused about judges being out of touch with the fight. Even when the correspondent inquired about when the match would be “viable,” no one caught on. One particularly unfortunate response came from a man who said, “I don’t know. Women don’t really talk to me that much.”
Sigh. One can only hope that there were some insightful men interviewed off-camera who recognized that Roe v. Wade is a pivotal court case regarding abortion rights, not a mixed martial arts event. Still, the fact that so many men don’t immediately connect Roe v. Wade to one of the most critical political issues of our era is concerning. This isn’t the first time Kimmel’s team has highlighted the ignorance of the average person, like when they asked festival-goers at Coachella about non-existent bands or inquired about Canada being the 51st U.S. state.
