Time's Person of the Year: 'Silence Breakers' speaking out against sexual harassment



Time magazine named "The Silence Breakers" — women who triggered a #MeToo national outcry over sexual harassment — as the 2017 "Person of the Year."

The magazine said President Trump was runner-up for the top title, while Chinese President Xi Jinping was third on the list.

Time editor-in-chief Edward Felsenthal revealed the cover on Wednesday morning's Today show, which features Ashley Judd, Taylor Swift, former Uber engineer Susan Fowler and a woman whose face is obscured, intended to represent the women who haven't yet come forward.

"This is the fastest-moving social change we've seen in decades, and it began with individual acts of courage by hundreds of women, and some men, who came forward to tell their own stories of sexual harassment and assault," Felsenthal said. "The image you see partially on the cover is of a woman we talked to, a hospital worker in the middle of the country who shared her story with us and some others but doesn't feel like she can come forward without threatening her livelihood."

I love that Trump was second - that will piss him off more than if he had not appeared at all.

In the write up I wish there had been more about P45's accusers. But there is this paragraph.

Summer Zervos, a former contestant on The Apprentice, was one of roughly 20 women to accuse the President of sexual harassment. She filed a defamation suit against Trump days before his Inauguration after he disputed her claims by calling her a liar. A New York judge is expected to decide soon if the President is immune to civil suits while in office. No matter the outcome, the allegations added fuel to a growing fire.

I thought the issue of whether a President could be sued while in office was settled by Paula Jones.

Just because SCOTUS decided Clinton v. Jones doesn't mean a lawyer for the so-called President won't argue some way to distinguish the case.

I'm glad for the Women of the Year, that was absolutely my vote, but this article was very interesting: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/pol ... 399844cdf4
