Depends on the celebrity. Big companies and designers will buy out tables and invite celebrities, with Wintour’s approval of course. If a celebrity is invited and approved, they get in for the price of wearing that designer’s clothing, being photographed in it with the designer and sitting at their table.

Imagine the 25 women who were accusing Trump of rape felt when the Conservative party discounted them. Sexual Allegations to politicians no longer have any power in 2020. They became so normal that they lost their shock value.

I lived in NYC and Europe and went to those types of places.

Come now - I think it is a long way from ‘he got in my space’, he patted my shoulder’, ‘he sniffed my hair’ to ............’he threw me up against a wall in a public building corridor during a business day and penetrated my vagina with his finger’.

Thank you. So much misinformation is being spread in the comments here, just innuendo and casual misstating of facts that then gets adopted as conventional wisdom. One person in particular has been doing it and dismissing when they get corrected on the facts. So I am just going to reply to your post.

Yes. For better or worse, these allegations aren’t going to mean anything in terms of who wins the election, but if they turn into enough of a scandal AFTER the election (when, assuming a Democrat wins, we will see the media suddenly, magically, start holding the Administration accountable for everything from sex…

Not gonna lie, Jezebel advice columns are always a hilarious shitshow of horrible advice, so I’m really looking forward to having something to mindlessly eat popcorn to.

I get what you are saying. But I am unmoved. Republicans have been playing to win for decades now. Democrats? Not so much. I, for one, am completely fucking over “when they go low, we go high.” It doesn’t win elections.

If Biden stepped down, the delegates would be free to vote how they want, but doing something that un-democratic (little “d”) would court disaster. It’s one thing to tip questions to a candidate, it’s quite another to just say “Let’s ignore the incontrovertible results of a primary because the candidate has problems”.…

If only. One of the million reasons to wish that one of the many capable women had been selected. But at this point, barring any irrefutable evidence, Biden will get the nom, and we will all feel conflicted about it, but vote for him because we acknowledge that he, and definitely any administration he builds, will be…

SAY IT.

First, let me say that I like you and I apologize in advance for my tone.

Because “listen to women” means “every woman should be unequivocally believed without qualification”?

In all honesty what are we supposed to do when one 20+ year old allegation that can’t be substantially verified is used to discredit the likely nominee of the D primary?

I disagree with basically everything you’ve said here, but let’s just cut to the chase. Nothing anyone can say will convince me that Trump is the lesser of two evils. Nothing.

Nearly 100 people have died from COVID-19 in just one nursing home in my city. Abortion rights have been gutted. The courts are fucked for generations. The deficit is staggering. The environment is ruined. Our international reputation is in tatters. Nazis with tiki torches are very fine people. Racists are emboldened.…

The very naked attempt by the Bernie people for pushing this under some belief that this somehow makes Bernie the nominee - there is an entire genre of tweet online based around this - and the faux concern for Reade beyond her use as a political weapon...I just can’t. It should also be very telling that the Trump…

I point to the Obama vetting process too, for one reason: the Senate complaint. His papers not being released “until two years after retiring from public life” to any request (short of a warrant) is one thing — but if you’re being vetted for Vice President for almost certainly the most vetted campaign in modern history…

I think that’s fine for adoptions.  But why a “gestational carrier”?  That puts us right back into the gendered box we’re trying to get out of in the case of the father in this case.

Maybe ultimately the solution is to drop gendered terminology like ‘mother’ altogether. If it’s important that a birth certificate illustrate who exactly grew the baby inside their body, let’s just call them “gestational parent.” There, solved it.
