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.

Glad they made that choice!!!!

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

Great Choice ...I had a feeling and hoped this would be it ...

Enough is enough ....

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 ....
