âI totally understood. Itâs a crazy world out there,â Maher says, adding, âYou can keep me for as long as you want. Iâll cancel my plans if you want me for safety.â The female-safety network is real. As Maher says, âSeriously, stay safe, ladies.â
In the comments, viewers were quick to praise Maher for being the ultimate girlsâ girl, and to lament that this is still the world we live in. âItâs great to see all the ladies supporting ladies in the comments, but it would be great if we, as a society, could also do more to make sure that we raise men that we donât have to protect ourselves from. Men, call out your misogynist friends. Dads, teach your sons to respect women. Weâre tired of doing all the work ourselves!â wrote one. Truth.
Ilona Maher said she was treating herself to some mozzarella sticks and wine after her âvigilanteâ moment, and we couldnât support that more. Ilona, you deserve all the cheese under the sun.
