The Silence Breakers . . . the women who have stepped forward to report sexual abuse/harassment. Just announced on MSNBC.

Here is the link to the article:

Good choice. The old boys network needed to be broken.

I will say, though, that a few (a very few) are taking it a little too far.

I think it was a good choice too. I haven't had a chance to completely read through the entire article but I was disappointed that they chose to highlight Megyn Kelly as for me it was Gretchen Carlson who really started this whole ball rolling. Megyn only inserted herself into the conversation when she realized that Gretchen was one of the first women whose actions forced this conversation into the forefront.

It takes courage to come forward. sometimes victims are treated so poorly, it's like being violated twice.

And I would say there are many more women who won’t say anything

I was pulling for one of the others but I understand going with the issue du jour. Time's way of staying relevant and riding the wave.

Now instead of focusing on the well known .. famous in our society ..

we need to acknowledge the less well known that don't have a voice ....

Its easy for Gretchen Carlison to get a job ... a single mother working

in fast food in a small town for example may have no where to go ...

Just sayin ....

I had a strong feeling that was going to be their choice, and it's a good one. It was the social issue of the year, one that affected women and men from all backgrounds.

I agree @Laura14... And still, I'm not sure Time remains relevant.

Great tweet just now from Jake Tapper:

There should be an opposite of the TIME person of the year — the converse. And these folks and all who enable predators should be so recognized.

I am proud of the women that stood up for change.The article reads that this has always been a problem and at one time society even found it amusing.Boys will be boys not anymore...Now finally they are expected to grow up and behave like a man.This whole "me too " thing has really opened the eyes of the world about the lack of respect for women's rights.

@stevieb To be honest, I was a little shocked there still was a Time magazine.
