Off in a corner, sitting a a table with a few like-minded hangers-on, was the disgraced Harvey Weinstein.
You remember Harvey?
You also remember United States law? Innocent until proven guilty?
So, this power-mad sex-crazed slob is watching this D-list event, and some stand-up comic nobody heard of got up and made a comment about Harvey being in the room. Instead of applause, she got a heckle of "Shut Up."
Next up, a whats-it decided to get into the act. As you know, if you've had the misery of visiting a public bathroom, ANYONE can come in, wearing ANY insane outfit, declaring that they "IDENTIFY" with YOUR gender. Even if this is a delusional farce.
When inmates run the asylum, they can do as they please.
This whats-it, who prefers a neutral gender identity, and is SO arrogant and egotistical that only the PLURAL will do, is a "THEY."
Here's what happened:
Got that? In a variation on the royal WE, a D-list THEY decided to confront Weinstein and make a stink.
This is in America, by the way.
The new free speech is to be able to verbally accost anyone. Go ahead, get in their space. March around a restaurant chanting slogans about your issue. Harass people. Do unto others and then leave.
Also have the freedom to make a newspaper waste a little extra time and ink explaining why YOU want to be a THEY instead of a SHE, HE or even an IT.
What's the take-away from this non-event? That Weinstein is already a prisoner and should be under house arrest? A judge didn't think so. That Weinstein, and EVERYONE in that room needed to pass some kind of security test before being allowed in? Well, at a private club, any "velvet rope" event, people CAN be excluded based on their looks. Otherwise, too bad. Might as well do the unthinkable, and vet all the employees to see which ones might ALREADY have a CRIMINAL RECORD or be on PROBATION and therefore, should be shunned and starved with sanctions, and forced to leave the country or something.
On the bright side, some grinning publicity whore idiot got her picture all over the Internet and in the paper:
This woman (she DOES want to be a woman, not an IT or a THEY or an asparagus) had a solution. Had she KNOWN that an activist would be uncomfortable with Weinstein (or a non-vegan cheese, or air not scented with burning cinnamon sticks), the activist would be allowed to grab a microphone and reach out. Speak out. Give vent. Verbalize. Express an opinion. Bore everyone. Have a special privilege.
Surely, this is going to be the wave of the future? Anyone who doesn't like the dinner should be able to get a microphone, say some bad comments about the chef in front of all the other diners, DROP MIC, and leave?
Surely, anyone who attends a Broadway show and thinks an important point about Syrian refugees hasn't been covered, should be given a microphone and allowed to sing a protest song?
Whatever happened to...if you don't like it, WALK OUT? QUIETLY? Both you, yourself, and, referring to both her asshole and your brain, which are inter-changeable, THEY?
