[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She looks terrific!

[b]But it’s interesting how she turned her victimhood into a career. [/b]

As a feminist, I recognized the power differential in the affair/scandal…but I saw her as a woman who made a choice, not a victim. Her name was dragged through the mud because of it, so she was a victim of bullying…but not sexual harassment in the traditional sense.

I don’t think she really wanted a husband and white picket fence. If she did, she could have gone that route (after all, she’s rich and beautiful). I think she has the life she wanted.

I wonder if the very public ad campaign was her final screw you to the Clintons? I mean, she looks gorgeous and is garnering positive attention. [/quote]

She's certainly qualified to speak and counsel on bullying, because damn did the Clintons throw her to the wolves. I was disgusted by it at the time, and still am. And can you imagine how much worse it would be in the age of social media?

She did get a Masters in social psychology at LSE. Thesis: "In Search of the Impartial Juror: An Exploration of the Third-Person Effect and Pre-Trial Publicity."

I'd pay her to counsel me on resilience. I don't think I'd have survived what she went through.

Hopefully she doesn't care enough about the Clintons to be doing anything as a "screw you" to them, but I'm glad Monica has done okay for herself. She's bright and witty, and most of the people who called her ugly when she was 22 probably looked like ass by 50.
