He even describes himself as an “activist and intersectional feminist” in his [Twitter bio](https://twitter.com/MattMcGorry). McGorry overheard a segment on _The Woody Show_ called “Fat Chick/Skinny Chick,” where listeners had to guess the [weight of a woman](http://motto.time.com/4273928/erin-heatherton-victoria-secret-body/) based on how she answered a question, _Cosmopolitan_ [reported](http://www.cosmopolitan.com/entertainment/celebs/news/a61167/matt-mcgorry-calls-out-sexist-radio-show/). He took to Twitter to slam the segment as “horrendously sexist.” > [](https://twitter.com/MattMcGorry/status/751665953960636416) > [](https://twitter.com/MattMcGorry/status/751669234195795968) _Cosmopolitan_ reports that _The Woody Show_ called him a liar in a now-deleted tweet — so he filmed himself having a conversation with a cab driver about whether or not the segment was actually offensive. > [](https://twitter.com/MattMcGorry/status/751678667407765505) _The Woody Show_ attempted to make amends by showing that they were good people, too, and tweeted an image of the other causes they support, like [standing with Orlando](http://motto.time.com/4366153/orlando-shooting-lgbt-pride/). > [](https://twitter.com/thewoodyshow/status/751676200133636096) Some of McGarry’s fans stepped in and voiced their frustrations at _The Woody Show_. > [](https://twitter.com/forcevisions/status/751677945572450304) > [](https://twitter.com/evilaIien/status/751680280608464896) _The Woody Show_ deleted their tweets, but McGorry hardly let them live that down. > [](https://twitter.com/MattMcGorry/status/751849596268138496) > [](https://twitter.com/MattMcGorry/status/751850931554168832) > [](https://twitter.com/MattMcGorry/status/751851459679924225) **Correction:** A previous version of this story misstated the name of McGorry’s character on How To Get Away With Murder. It is Asher Millstone. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4401868/matt-mcgorry-woody-show-tweets/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4401868/matt-mcgorry-woody-show-tweets/"},"headline":"Matt McGorry Just Unleashed a Firestorm of Tweets Against a 'Sexist' Radio Show","datePublished":"2016-07-11T22:05:56.000Z","dateModified":"2023-12-13T06:26:07.000Z","description":"He took issue with the show's \"Fat Chick/Skinny Chick\" segment","url":"https://time.com/4401868/matt-mcgorry-woody-show-tweets/","keywords":["motto","twitter","radio"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt7772fc54d2245618/69889b7de20a87b617a918df/matt-mcgorry-tweets-sexist-woody-show.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"TIME Staff","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/time-staff/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt7772fc54d2245618/69889b7de20a87b617a918df/matt-mcgorry-tweets-sexist-woody-show.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Behind The Scenes Shoot With Matt McGorry For LaPalme Magazine","caption":"Behind The Scenes Shoot With Matt McGorry For LaPalme Magazine","creditText":"Greg Doherty/Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/motto/","name":"motto"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4401868/matt-mcgorry-woody-show-tweets/","name":"Matt McGorry Just Unleashed a Firestorm of Tweets Against a 'Sexist' Radio Show"}}]}] ```
