The Daily Show writer Lizz Winstead launched the #MeAt14 campaign in response to Leigh Corfman accusing Moore of initiating a sexual relationship with her when she was only 14. Moore was 32 at the time. Winstead posted a picture of her at her full fourteen-year-old awkwardness to reinforce why there is an age of consent.
\u201cThis is me at 14. I was on the gymnastics team and sang in the choir. I was not dating a 32 year old man. Who were you at 14? Tweet a pic, tell us who you were and pic to the top of your page #MeAt14 #NoMoore\u201d— Lizz "Insufferable Wench" Winstead (@Lizz "Insufferable Wench" Winstead) 1510445577
Alyssa Milano, who founded the #MeToo campaign, was among the first to jump onboard the campaign.
\u201c#MeAt14 I worshipped my brother. I loved my dog, Pucci. I loved OMD. I had Big hair. I was happy. I was innocent. \n\nPlease share your #MeAt14.\u201d— Alyssa Milano (@Alyssa Milano) 1510454092
Now others are joining in protest.
\u201cThis is me at 14. I wasn\u2019t dating a 32 year old male. I was riding horses, playing basketball, and trying to survive freshman year of high school. #MeAt14 #NoMoore\u201d— lexlo (@lexlo) 1510495989
\u201cI was eating a lot of chocolate chip cookie dough and learning to do the \u201chustle\u201d and not worrying about a 32 year old man trying to hustle me. #MeAt14\u201d— Katie Couric (@Katie Couric) 1510458312
\u201cThis is me at 14, a shy and innocent bookworm. No way is a 14-yr-old developmentally prepared to date a 32-yr-old man. #MeAt14 #NoMoore\u201d— Fern Naomi Renville (@Fern Naomi Renville) 1510461894
\u201cNot old enough to drive. Not old enough to work without a permit. Not old enough to see an R-rated movie. Not old enough to consent. #MeAt14\u201d— Mary Ann Campbell (@Mary Ann Campbell) 1510446389
\u201c#MeAt14 Here's a diary entry about the time I started crying at a dance because I was scared of dancing with boys.\n\nNot old enough to consent to a romantic relationship with an adult man!\u201d— Hummingbird fan account (@Hummingbird fan account) 1510442693
\u201cCan\u2019t consent at 14. \nNot in Alabama.\nNot anywhere. #MeAt14\u201d— Eden Dranger (@Eden Dranger) 1510422098
