The Silence Breakers
The TIME Person of the Year is supposed to be a person, idea, group, or object that “for better or for worse, has done the most to influence the events of the year.” Based on this definition, I couldn’t think of a more deserving winner than The Silence Breakers. All of the women and men who spoke out against their harassers, abusers, rapists, and offenders helped us all make a big leap this year. Some say that there is always a bright side... well, in my eyes, when it comes to the 2016 election, I finally see it. When the Access Hollywood tape came out of a presidential candidate bragging about “grabbing ‘em by the pussy,” I thought there was no way he could ever win. How could such a person win without any female votes? Silly me.
