Jessa Duggar has undergone quite a shift in public perception in recent months. Thanks in no small part to the various Josh Duggar sex scandals , Jessa has gone being seen as the semi-relatable “down to earth one” in a family full of religious zealots, to the embodiment of the sort of misogynistic, oppressive culture that allows a predator like Josh to go unpunished. Sources say Jessa is angry that Josh’s indiscretions have led to a lack of public interest in her pregnancy , and now she may have yet another reason to be pissed off at her oldest brother: According to Radar Online, Jessa’s upcoming speech at the Southern Women’s Show may be canceled due to outrage over her family’s sheltering of a deviant molester and adulterer. “I would bet that there will be many women coming to your event that have been sexually molested,” wrote one critic on the event’s Facebook page. “How do you think they will feel about this girl who minimizes it and has been taught it is her fault. You seriously need to re-think who your paid guests are! “Why the hell would you invite a girl who was raised in a family that looks down on women?” wrote a different Facebook user. “I’M NOT GOING NOW!!! P*** poor role model, liar from a bigot family. BOYCOTT!” wrote another. Jessa was initially viewed as a sympathetic figure, having been groped and sexually harassed by her brother when she was still in her pre-teen years. Her vehement defense of Josh’s actions , however, have led many to believe that she’s too brainwashed by her family’s patriarchal beliefs to make a suitable speaker for an event designed to empower women. Currently, Jessa is still scheduled to take the stage at 1 pm tomorrow. View Slideshow: Jessa Duggar Baby Bump Pics: 1 & Counting!
