My advice is that you not blame yourself and do not accept the blame others will try to place on you. You should not be blamed for waiting 15 minutes or 15 days or 15 years to report sexual assault or harassment, or for the outcome of what happens to a person after he or she makes the choice to sexually harass or assault you. - Taylor for TIME’s Silence Breakers
The Silence Breakers.

I would tell people who find themselves in this situation that there is a great deal of blame placed on the victims in cases of sexual harassment and assault. You could be blamed for the fact that it happened, for reporting it and blamed for how you reacted. You might be made to feel like you’re overreacting, because society has made this stuff seem so casual. My advice is that you not blame yourself and do not accept the blame others will try to place on you. You should not be blamed for waiting 15 minutes or 15 days or 15 years to report sexual assault or harassment, or for the outcome of what happens to a person after he or she makes the choice to sexually harass or assault you. - Taylor Swift, one of The Silence Breakers, TIME’s Person of the Year 2017

also can we talk about how, in this era of trump, having time’s person of the year be the Silence Breakers, brave women who helped to start the movement of speaking out against sexual assault, is an extremely powerful message.

I love when she said “why should I be polite?” because women in society are expected to always be polite and submissive. We are expected to always apologize. We are expected to not curse aloud. We are expected to silence ourselves when an injustice unfolds upon us.
