But that’s not the only thing that’s aggravating about this situation. What grinds my gears about Clinton isn’t just the fact that he hasn’t seemed to really learn his lesson; it’s that other people have coddled him so that he really doesn’t have to. In this case, he wrote a book with author James Patterson, and the opening event of the book promotion was at BookCon , a huge gathering where, like many large-scale conventions, a large number of attendees are young people, particularly young women. The move to host Bill Clinton is particularly brash given that the publishing world — and virtually every genre within it — is in the midst of its own #MeToo movement. Last month, Monica Lewinsky was shunned from attending a philanthropy summit hosted by Town & Country because of Clinton, where he introduced another young woman , gun violence activist Emma Gonzalez. The question we have to ask is, why do people keep giving him these gigs? And why are we exposing a new generation of young women to him in this positive light?
