The dominant gender would go out and hunt while the other tends to the children. As time progressed, it seemed that society has kept this stereotype and until now, it still exists. Women over the years fought for the same rights as men and in return only achieved few major accomplishments. Even though women fought for some of these landmark achievements, we still see inequality in every aspect of our lives, through the media, socialization, science, and the workplace.

    In December 2017, Time Magazine named “the Silence Breakers” as their person of the year. This selection encompasses everyone who had stepped forward in the past year to share their stories surrounding sexual harassment and assault, and was specifically inspired by the unfolding cascade of sexual assault allegations in Hollywood. Time Magazine chose a photo of five women to provide a face to the movement. In doing so, Time Magazine presents a vision of feminism that is at least ostensibly more inclusive, implicit in its rejection of “choice feminism”, and provides simultaneous subversion and confirmation of the notion of respectability to the service of its ultimate goal.
