Times of the year get to the silence breaker who woke up with #me to.

New York: “#Me Too” spread virally as a two-word movement, hastag used on social media which in Oct 2017 to denounce sexual assault and harassment in the wake of sexual misconduct allegation against film producer and executive Harvey Weinstein.  While Dec 6 2017 it grabbed worldwide recognition with topping chart as TIMES MAGAZINE NAMED “the # Me Too Movement” AS ITS PERSON OF THE YEAR.The announcement was made Wednesday on NBC’s Today show, where longtime host Matt Lauer was recently fired amid harassment allegations. Today host Savannah Guthrie acknowledged that this year’s winner hits “close to home” and mentioned Lauer by name.

While the most high-profile #MeToo stories have come from women and men who work in the movies and media, the Time article also features women who work hourly jobs, some of whom want to remain anonymous.

The magazine’s cover portrait includes strawberry picker Isabel Pascual, lobbyist Adama Iwu and former Uber engineer Susan Fowler along with Ashley Judd and Taylor Swift.

“The reckoning appears to have sprung up overnight. But it has actually been simmering for years, decades, centuries,” Time’s Stephanie Zacharek, Eliana Dockterman and Haley Sweetland Edwards write. “Women have had it with bosses and coworkers who not only cross boundaries but don’t even seem to know that boundaries exist.”

The phrase long been used in this sense by social activist Tarana Burke was popularized by actress Alyssa Milano, who encouraged women to tweet it to publicize experience to demonstrate the widespread nature of misogynistic behavior and to till date millions of people have used the hastag to come forward with their experiences includes list of celebrities. Taran Burke said to NBC”I could never have envisioned something that would change the world. I was trying to change my community, this is just the start. It’s not just a moment, it’s a movement. Now the work really begins.”

While “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, too – who came forward to tell their own stories,” Time Editor-in-Chief Edward Felsenthal told NBC News, referring to them as “the silence breakers.”

Felsenthal also said US President Donald Trump, who was Time’s person of the year in 2016, was the first runner-up this year, followed by Chinese President Xi Jinping, Other finalists included US Department of Justice Special Counsel Robert Mueller, who is leading the investigation of alleged Russian meddling in the election that Trump won; North Korean President Kim Jong Un; “Wonder Woman” director Patty Jenkins; and football player-turned-activist Colin Kaepernick.

Unlike anything, Time magazine had said last month that Trump was “incorrect” when he claimed to have taken a “pass” on an interview and “major photo shoot” because the publication told him he was only “probably” going to be named its person of the year.

Reported as per times.com that we’re still at the bomb-throwing point of this revolution, a reactive stage at which nuance can go into hiding. But while anger can start a revolution, in its most raw and feral form it can’t negotiate the more delicate dance steps needed for true social change. Private conversations, which can’t be legislated or enforced, are essential.

Norms evolve, and it’s long past time for any culture to view harassment as acceptable. But there’s a great deal at stake in how we assess these new boundaries—for women and men together. We can and should police criminal acts and discourage inappropriate, destructive behavior.
