#MeToo Movement Is Person Of The Year, 'Time' Says
NPR ^ | December 6, 2017 | Bill Chappell

Posted on 12/06/2017 5:13:49 AM PST by Zakeet

It has created a wave of awareness and brave confrontations over sexual harassment and assault, taking down powerful men in the process. And now the #MeToo movement has been named Time magazine's Person of the Year for 2017.

On its cover, Time called the movement "The Silence Breakers." Its story features women and men who have spoken out - including activist Tarana Burke, who started the hashtag 10 years ago.

#MeToo had its start as a social media campaign in the wake of high-profile accusations against Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein.

This seems more a push to create a “men are bad” meme rather than substance.

the real truth is NOBODY is going to pay money for this issue or buy a subscription because of this selection.

years from now it will not matter no hold any global relevance. The individual cases will/might be noted but the casting couch will continue because of willing parties.

Women and minorities have had the upper hand in this country for multiple generations — preferences, subsidies, welfare, set asides, social programs. They’re not victims, and in many instances they are the aggressors. Who should be on Time’s cover are the abused and degraded white male. He is being systematically discriminated against, including being shot full of Ritalin as a boy and told not to act as a man should.

Only one of the four photos are real, so be prepared for mindless blowback.

"PS: Time magazine is a leftist propaganda rag whose editors should be shot."

Even better than shooting is if Meredith Corp moves 'em piecemeal to Des Moines!

(Meredith says it has no plans, but if you just spent a pile of money purchasing a new company, would you want to lose the staff en masse? Yes, I've been there, done that, and still have the new corporation's windbreaker. I wear it for messy jobs like oil changes and cleaning up the garden in the fall.)
