Not all the women featured are famous millionaires. I have a slight issue with TS being on the cover and acting as the face of this movement, but overall I'm pleased with their choice for POTY.

I interpreted the anonymous elbow on the cover to represent the millions of women whose stories we haven't been told. They are either too scared to come forward, or no one cares to listen.

---

@JJsMom  Yes.  But in addition, if you look up this cover online, there is actually a video version of the cover.  Time has interviewed and included tens upon tens of women (and at least two men) representing this cover.  The print version only shows the five women. I saw the video version on Instagram and FB.

So tired.

And I’m scared for next Tuesday in Alabama.

That could set everything back to the ‘50s again.

It's like this tsunami of cognitive dissonance.

OhMyGosh...this is good.

You need to trademark that phrase.

So I didn't think it up myself?

******, and I didn't even read that.

Another money maker down the toity pot.

But you applied the concept in a very informed way.

@deepwaterdotter

So I can proceed with the t-shirts?

I hope you all realize my invoice for charging each of you my time in looking up what the heck you are talking about is in the mail as I do not own a thesaurus . . . . cognitive dissonance, what? . . .

For the very reason some minimize it as "the issue du jour" is why I am so glad this is indeed the choice selected. It's still very necessary to bring this to the fore and address it seriously.

@Caaareful Shopper

ITA.  I think that label is very trivializing, and hope that was not the intent.

@Drythe

I think that the label, coupled with the dissing of TIME, shows a definitive intent to trivialize.

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.

@momtochloe

Remember Keith Olbermann's "Worst Person in the World"?

Excellent @QueenDanceALot exactly . . .

@momtochloe

A couple on the short list could just be moved right on over.

Ahem . . . settle down my friend @QueenDanceALot . . . 

I had to stop sitting on my paws for a bit, they were getting numb.

@momtochloe

I think I’ve bitten right through my tongue 😛 and am now grinding down my teeth.  Paws were on fire,

Oh, @momtochloe, dumb is never a word I would associate with you.  Ever.

I gotta get to work on those shirts!
