While I am certainly not a condoner of abusing women,
Person of the Year: Time honours abuse 'silence breakers'
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-42254219
Is this 'jump on the bandwagon' journalism? A 'look at us being so PC' exercise by Time?
If it was about some of the kids abused by Savile, the grooming gangs or similar who haven't got a voice I would be all for it, but Taylor Swift having her ass pinched?

I'm sure it's not at all about the public discussion this will cause raising their profile and increasing sales.
Vaguely related, a few years back we had a job applicant for a mid-seniority technical post who actually put on his CV that he was Time magazine's person of the year 2006 |

Sounds a bit shit anyway if you look at previous 'winners': In 2014, "Ebola fighters" were recognised while in 2011 "The Protester" acknowledged the significance of the so-called Arab Spring.
So that stupid woman who knowingly brought back a contagious disease and nearly died twice? Or protesters getting rid of the devil they knew and ending up worse off? |
