Another day, another overreaction to a woman’s choice of clothing.
This time, Fox TV presenter Megyn Kelly has received abuse from viewers after baring her shoulders on television.
She appeared on television to cover the Republican National Convention in Cleveland, Ohio, and happened to wear strappy dress while doing so - because you know, summer.

And she soon started receiving criticism - and abuse - on Twitter.
Some mocked her clothing by comparing it to a sock or bikini, but others took the matter to another level by calling her a “whore” and “escort”.

Perhaps it wasn’t the most conventional item to wear while broadcasting, but instead of thinking of it as a little odd and moving on with their lives, people appeared to decide that Kelly deserved to be harassed for her fashion choice.

This isn’t the first time a presenter has been publicly shamed for her choice of clothing. Back in May meteorologist Liberté Chan was forced to cover up after watchers complained about the dress she was wearing.

In Chan’s case, unlike Kelly, she was told to cover up live on air, leading to discussions as to whether a man would ever have been treated the same way, wardrobe issue or not.
