Winstead’s goal was to prove that 14-year-olds are incapable of giving consent.

“This 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?” she captioned a photo with the hashtags “Me at 14” and “No Moore.”

Hundreds of women jumped onto the hashtag, sharing their own teenage experience­s.

“I was eating a lot of chocolate chip cookie dough and learning to do the ‘hustle’ and not worrying about a 32 year old man trying to hustle me,” tweeted Katie Couric.

“I worshipped my brother. I loved my dog, Pucci. I loved OMD. I had Big hair. I was happy. I was innocent,” wrote Alyssa Milano.

Other women took the opposite approach, sharing stories of sexual abuse or harassment at 14.

“Here’s #MeAt14 playing at the park with friends. This was the same summer my mom’s boss saw me sucking on a lime wedge and said, ‘any girl that can suck like that is going to be very popular in high school,’ ” one woman tweeted.
