Body Shaming and #MeToo
I came across a post by someone in a Facebook group I am a part of. One more story of a girl who was sent home because her body was a "distraction." Her crime? She was wearing a t-shirt with a little bit of cleavage showing. She happened to be a more well-endowed girl, so it didn't really matter that her shirt was pretty modest.
