GRETCHEN CARLSON’S FIGHT
“As an atheist and a progressive Democrat, I may have little in common with Carlson, but I applaud her efforts to bring the horrors of sexual harassment and assault out of the shadows,” wrote Lynne Forrester of Littleton, Colo., in response to our Oct. 31 cover story, by Belinda Luscombe, about the former Fox News anchor. “My heart goes out to [her] in her battle against sexist stupidity,” said Robert Blackshaw of Glenwood, Md. But Lydia Spencer of Millington, Tenn., saw sexism in the story, particularly in its description of Carlson’s home: “I bet no story you ever published about a man included info about how clean his house was or what a great multitasker he is,” she wrote.
30 MOST INFLUENTIAL TEENS
“Some teens are killing it,” said Australian pop-culture site Pedestrian.TV, summing up TIME’s annual list of the year’s most influential teenagers (12 of whom were profiled in the Oct. 31 issue). The site described the group–which included Aussie tech guru Ben Pasternak along with activist Malala Yousafzai and First Daughters Malia and Sasha Obama–as “a strong collection of people under 20 who are unfortunately dramatically more successful than you are.” ESPN.com praised the inclusion of “some of sports’ brightest young stars”–including Olympians Katie Ledecky and Simone Biles, as well as snowboarding champ Chloe Kim–while some honorees posted reactions on Twitter: “So humbled that I’m on the same list as a lot of these people I look up to, trying to make a difference,” wrote Camila Cabello, a singer, activist and member of the pop group Fifth Harmony.
