Megyn Kelly Rips Donna Karan: Women’s Fashion Choices Do Not Invite Harassment

‘I don’t give a damn if a woman shows up in a bikini to the office’

EXCERPT:

KELLY: "Unfortunately she is not the only one who apparently thinks this way, and it is wrong. It's seriously wrong. Let's be perfectly clear right now. Women sometimes make bad fashion choices, including at the office. This does not invite their own harassment, period. End of report. (Applause) There are laws in this country, laws. I don't give a damn if a woman shows up in a bikini to the office, that doesn't invite or make it okay for her superior to harass her. It makes it okay for her boss to say, 'Go home and change.' That's it. The truth is, sexual harassment has nothing to do with wardrobe, it has to do with power and control and sexual proclivities that a superior chooses not to rein in. How insulting, by the way, to men as well, like they are a bunch of animals who cannot behave themselves if a woman shows part of her thigh, right? This attitude of blaming women for their own harassment is actually one of the reasons why women choose not to come forward after they get harassed because they fear victim shaming. They fear it. They know it's going to happen. How about we not pile on, Donna?"
