Oh, the left... never satisfied with anything. You were sexually assaulted and spoke up about it? Yeah, not enough to be on the cover. Try again. Jesus. This is kinda why Republicans win. At the end of the day, they stick together for the sake of their handful of common goals. Us? We have to nitpick until we get it jus…

Not to wade into deep, dangers waters here, but we do know why she wasn’t included. It’s literally in the article:

No, actually, she wasn’t. She was one of the first supporters of Kesha when news came out about Dr. Luke, donating 50k to her legal defense; Kesha says she’s a sweetheart and always answers when called.

Again, Taylor Swift controversially supported Kesha and shouts her out in the interview, repeatedly.

Taylor Swift gets to center herself in every movement because i guess

For the record, Taylor Swift was the OG Kesha supporter. (In her interview, which I strongly encourage you to read, she talks about calling Kesha during her own sexual assault trial.) Taylor gave Kesha $500,000 to pay for her legal team in the midst of a punishing media cycle that saw Sony Music executives portray…

How is Terry Crews more of a “movement leader” than Taylor Swift? I’m not sure I would describe Swift as apolitical on this issue, she was very outspoken about her experience.

Especially nitpicking when it is obvious they didn’t even read the article. It is a literal click!

Word. Kim Jong Un is also on the shortlist, sooo...

Except Swift is a sexual abuser victim, and also won over her abuser in court. I love Farrow, but why the hell does he deserve a place on that cover and not a sexual abuse victim???

Thank you — the nitpicking is enraging me — do these people not get what they are doing???

Knock it off.

This isn’t an oppression OLympics — Taylor Swift has absolutely every right to be on that cover, and what you stated is perplexing.

Mr. NMY sent me the link to the announcement today, and I wept. I was 14 years old when it happened to me, and I didn’t tell anyone because I thought no one would believe me. I went with him willingly, he was my boyfriend, and I was wearing a tank top and a skirt. That small part of me that is still 14 years old cried…

I’m not a legal expert (just a gossip one!), but I think Kesha lost her case against Dr. Luke and is thus prohibited from speaking about it? It might have been a big legal headache for her to go anywhere near the Time story; in February, they were already threatening her over an Instagram post. Can anyone who has more…

Here and on Twitter I am just annoyed at all the nitpicking.  BTW, according to Time the issue was basically put together solely by women.

I don’t know whether it’s worthwhile to point out again that Time’s person of the year isn’t an honor. It can be, and it has been, and I believe it is this year. But to criticize the fact that Trump made the shortlist is to ignore the fact that the title is given to the person or group who “for better or for worse...…

Every year since 1989 I have cried on December 6th, as that was the day of the massacre of 14 women at L’ecole Polytechnique in Montreal. Today was the first time since I was 13 that I have felt hope behind the sadness. The choice Time made to proclaim these women Person of the Year, is amazing to me. Abusers are…

It’s almost funny that Trump was like “oh yeah they asked me and I turned it down” when in fact they went with the polar opposite of Trump, except that..... he got it last year. I kind of feel like, fuck off Time, this is just crass opportunism.
