是仇視還是真沒資格？Taylor Swift 入選《Time》年度人物卻遭大力批評

今年時代雜誌《Time》以「打破沉默者 The Silence Breakers 」為主題，選出了一群在2017年勇敢的發聲者，入選的年度風雲人物中，清一色皆是由女性為主角，揮別過去女性總是處於弱勢的刻板印象，現代女性不再輕易啞忍任何不公不平的事。而其中備受注目的入圍者是小天后Taylor Swift，但是許多網友卻認為 Taylor 根本沒資格入選年度風雲人物。

"Silence Breakers"

#TimePersonOfTheYear: #TheSilenceBreakers #MeToo "And yet even in this moment which feels like victory, there is the sick realization that the reason the Silence Breakers are necessary at all, is because the Silencers still inhabit this place." - John Pavlovitz "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. At least we've started asking the right questions. Ones that seem alarmingly basic in hindsight: "What if we did complain?" proposes Megyn Kelly. "What if we didn't whine, but we spoke our truth in our strongest voices and insisted that those around us did better? What if that worked to change reality right now?" Kelly acknowledges that this still feels more like a promise than a certainty. But for the moment, the world is listening."

今年入選的年度風雲人物，包括揭露 Hollywood 知名電影製作人 Harvey Weinstein 淫行的女演員 Ashley Judd、以及踢爆在 Uber 上班時受到性騷擾，從HR到高層都漠視不處理的員工 Susan Fowler，然而在這一群勇者女性中，向來是話題人物的小天后 Taylor Swift，雖然藉由自身的經歷為全球女性發聲、捍衛權利，卻依然飽受負面評價。

Radio DJ David Mueller groped Taylor Swift during a photo op in 2013. She reported him to his radio station, KYGO, and he was terminated. He said her accusations were false and sued Swift. She countersued for $1 and won. "When I testified, I had already had to watch this man’s attorney bully, badger and harass my team, including my mother … I was angry. In that moment, I decided to forgo any courtroom formalities and just answer the questions the way it happened. This man hadn’t considered any formalities when he assaulted me … Why should I be polite? I’m told it was the most amount of times the word ass has ever been said in Colorado federal court." (Mueller’s lawyer did not respond to multiple requests for comment.) @taylorswift is among the Silence Breakers, TIME's Person of the Year. Read the full story on TIME.com.

回顧夏天時，Taylor Swift 勇敢將曾在活動上對她摸臀的電台DJ告上法庭，只願求償一元美金的事件受到許多人的讚賞，《Time》的文章描寫了 Taylor Swift 作為證人出庭時，曾被對方的律師發問：「是否對因為自己的介入，使得電台 DJ David Mueller 被公司革職一事感到難過？」

Taylor Swift 說：「我不會讓你或你的委託人覺得這是我的錯，我不該因為他人生中的不幸事件受到譴責，因為這是他自己造成的，而不是我。」字字句句可以感受到她在華麗女歌手外貌下的堅強，然而，似乎只要與 Taylor Swift 相關的任何話題，總是可以引發熱議。

許多網友對於她的入選表示不能認同

＃我非常失望見到 Taylor Swift 登上《Time》封面，有更多勇敢發聲，為事業和生活付出努力的女性，會是登上封面更好的選擇。

I was SO DISAPPOINTED to see Taylor Swift on the TIME cover.

So many other women have spoken out, at greater cost to their careers/livelihoods, and would have been better choices for the cover.

＃親愛的《Time》，我對今年以“打破沉默者”作為主題概念鼓掌喝采，但是怎麼可以把Taylor Swift 列入名單？她是最糟糕的白人女權主義者，我甚至已想到有更多名打破沉默的女性，會是更好的入圍人選，這真的是亂七八糟。

Dear @TIME: I applaud you on the concept of #TheSilenceBreakers as your #TimePersonOfTheYear. But how could you include Taylor Swift, the most awful white feminist of all time? I could think of some other silence breakers who deserve the cover. Ugh, what a mess. pic.twitter.com/lj9YpFw2PO

＃我對於 Taylor Swift入選《Time》的打破沉默者感到十分噁心，她是最投機取巧的女權主義份子，有更多勇敢的女性比她值得受到讚賞。

Taylor Swift included on the cover of Time as a “Silence Breaker” is sickening. She is the most opportunistic feminist there is, so many other brave women to have praised other than her.

身為當今樂壇人氣最高的女歌手，Taylor Swift 的一舉一動皆被人們關注著，先無論喜不喜歡她的作風，她敢於說出自身經歷，並為女性發聲，其實是很正面且勇敢的作為，然而到底有沒有資格登上今年《Time》的年度風雲人物呢？相信每個人心中自有評斷。
