TV presenter slut-shamed for baring her shoulders

People branded her a "whore"

Who knew exposing your shoulders could be such a sin?

In today’s world, it seems like things for women are only getting worse.

Women are continually shamed in newspapers, by their families and even while showering at the gym.

Megyn Kelly is another woman who has been the victim of serious shaming because of her outfit choice while reporting from the Republican National Convention in the US.

Megyn was presenting on national television from the convention in Cleveland, Ohio but it was her black dress with thin black straps that caught people’s eyes rather than the news she was delivering.

Following her appearance on Fox News, people took to Twitter to viciously abuse the journalist, drawing comparisons to an “escort” and a “whore”.

While neither Megyn nor Fox News made a statement about the “offending” dress, sane people came to the aid of Megyn and defended the journalist’s dress, highlighting how people’s old fashioned attitudes should change.
