"The Silence Breakers" of the #MeToo movement, who gave a voice to sexual assault and harassment survivors and showed them that they are not alone is Time's 2017 Person of the Year, the magazine revealed exclusively Wednesday morning on "Today."
While the concept of #MeToo was started years ago by activist Tarana Burke, its use became part of the national conversation in October after celebrities on social media used it to share their own sexual abuse stories in the wake of the Harvey Weinstein scandal. The wave of stories prompted people from all walks of life to add their voice to the movement.

Certainly turned Hollywood and Washington upside down.
“National conversation”? You mean the ignorant media-driven fad that brought hysterics out of hiding to reveal that some male had touched her back or her butt?
The one that was supposed to bring down Trump, but hasn’t?
Hypocrites without guts. How about Juanita Broaderick for Person Of The Year?
So, they are honoring Paula Jones and Kathleen Wiley, and Juanita Broaddrick and such.
Hollywood’s stars of 1997 and dedenders of Hillary Clinton’s nuts & sluts campaign against the women who spoke out.
Harvey et. al. deserve to burn in hell.
But this is all a precursor to bringing whordes (misspelled on purpose) of women next year to speak out against what Trump did to them (in other words, lies)
And YES, MANY liberal icons being destroyed is WORTH the price to them to take down Trump.
Problem for the left is, nobody really gives a ####.
Well, they do, when it comes to sick rapist, child molesting animals.
Trump ain’t those things. Not even close.
But some women coming out about how Trump pinched their butts?
Americans won’t care.
They’re too interested in an economy that’s about to take off to the moon
I wish this magazine and its cover subject would just zip it.
I wonder if any comments will be coming from Hillary Clinton, Bill Clinton or even Monica Lewinsky?
How many public school students remained silent?
Pfft!
Meh. At least I CAN see the logic.
This thing is going to eat through this nation for months to come now.
Time magazine ... useless as ever.
Should it not be Ronan Farrow since he is the one that has been working on this story for years to expose this?
Has Time noticed that these sexual predators are overwhelmingly Democrat?
Pardon me but who the hell buys Time magazine anymore? Just dentists now? Talk about garbage.
If this is the issue they want to highlight, it would be better to have the MOTY be Harvey Weinstein.
For good or ill, right?
It was Weinstein who got this ball rolling.
mmhmm - 200 years ago they would’ve had the Salem girls on the cover for how brave they were for coming out and exposing the witches.
Stupid and insipid.
Show me a liberal and Ill show you a hypocrite.
Most of our women nowadays are liberal.
They harp on sexual advances, but wet themselves reading 50 Shades of Grey.
Or as another suggested, Ronan Farrow.
