1. Crítica a la minimización de la violencia sexual contra menores.
Las declaraciones atribuidas a Megyn Kelly —una mujer con una hija de 14-15 años— desataron una ola de indignación. Muchos usuarios destacaron la hipocresía y la peligrosidad de normalizar la violación de adolescentes, especialmente desde una figura que antes se presentó como defensora de las víctimas de acoso sexual.
- This woman, and attorney, a mother of teen daughters, implied that 15 year old girls are barely legal for sex. She is implying that its ok to f young, underage girls.
- Megan kelly, mother of a 14 year old daughter, arguing that epstein wasnt a pedophile because he liked 15 years olds, not 8 year olds. A woman. A mother. Disgusting.
- I was raped at 13 and no way in hell was i a young woman. I was a child. Shes disgusting, especially after taking 30 mil from being sexually harassed at fox news.
- This is the same woman who accused roger ailes of harassment. Hmm. Why should we care? shes a fully grown adult. Its not like she was 14 when he harassed her. Amirite?
2. El lenguaje como herramienta de normalización de la violencia.
Muchos comentarios señalan que frases como “mujer menor de edad”, “joven mujer” o “casi legal” son eufemismos deliberados que diluyen la gravedad del abuso. El consenso es claro: una persona menor de 18 años es una niña o un niño —nunca una “mujer”.
- Just a reminder given the news right now, there is no such thing as an underaged woman. The appropriate words are child, girls, teenager, children, etc.
- There is no such thing as an underage woman. They were children! ffs, stop calling the victims by terms that imply that these were, or possibly could be, adults that could consent.
- An underage woman is a child. A girl is a female child. People under 18 are minors. Because minors cannot consent, sex with them is rape.
3. La gravedad de la complicidad femenina.
La reacción es particularmente intensa porque proviene de una mujer —y más aún, de una madre—. Muchos usuarios expresan que es más impactante y perturbador que una mujer defienda o justifique a pedófilos, ya que rompe con la expectativa de protección hacia otras mujeres y niñas.
- This is 100x worse when its a woman trying to justify pedophilia. She has children, she has a daughter. How would she like her daughter who is 14 dating or getting raped by a 55 year old?
- What i find strange is that shes a woman and so she knows what its like to be a 15 yr old girl, not woman still not ok a girl!
- It always blows my mind to see another woman protecting pedophiles in any way, shape, or form.
- Its really showing the whole enablers thing. I cant imagine a directive came down from upon high to make 15 yo woman. Surely it was just a pearl clutching wanna-be minion who thought this was a good way to get noticed.
4. Llamados a la responsabilidad personal y profesional.
Numerosos mensajes piden consecuencias concretas: que Megyn Kelly sea despedida, removida de las plataformas donde tiene presencia, y que se exija su rendición de cuentas. Se señala que su conducta no solo es moralmente repugnante, sino peligrosa para la sociedad, especialmente para niñas vulnerables.
- Her career is over. I cant believe a woman with a 14 year old daughter says something like that. She has to go. Shes disgusting.
- Immediately, there needs to be a petition campaign to have this woman removed from siriusxm. This stance is totally unacceptable.
- This woman is a danger to children. Kelly then later said on her podcast that she found the topic disgusting and wasnt trying to excuse epstein but the backlash online has been intense as it should be.
- This is me at 15. Despite trying hard to have boobs they came along three years later, im definitely not an underage woman or even a barely illegal woman here, megynkelly. Theres something seriously wrong with you. Pity on your daughter.
