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".

@FoxNews Still hard to take your coverage seriously when @megynkelly looks like she's working for an escort agency. — Susan MacLaren (@Whisky_Galore) July 21, 2016

What the hell is @megynkelly wearing on #KellyFile tonight? Is she going clubbing,the beach or dressing like a whore for the #RNCinCLE

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.

Ridiculous fallout over @megynkelly dress. Women should wear whatever they want at any time. It's 2016! https://t.co/H1DHUOaQJn #KellyFile — Adriana Cohen (@AdrianaCohen16) July 22, 2016

@megynkelly Ignore those comments about the dress. We should all have the smarts you have. That is what I respect about you.
