It's not just a "Gen X" thing.  The reality is, I think we've made some progress wrt how we think about women, "mistresses," and shaming them for what they AND the cheat-ee engaged in.  Monica Lewinsky hit the talk-circuit to reclaim her voice in the scandal (it shouldn't have been a scandal in the first place, but whatever) and what "the machines" (media, political, cultural) did to relentlessly shame her.  Both Clintons played a role in that shaming.  And, oh yes, so did the GOP -- they were also disgusting to her.  (And so were the vast majority of Americans -- Monica was the butt of thousands and thousands of jokes. Keep in mind she was still so young, defenseless against the Shame and Scandal Monster).  She has (wisely) stepped out of the public eye since then.  I suspect she genuinely does not relish being in the limelight.  She emerged from the shadows just long enough--as a more mature 40 year old woman--to reclaim the shreds of her life and reputation.  She is a very sympathetic character... now that the nation has grown up a little.[/quote]
Based on what I see, the nation has not grown up
shame shame on the woman, hush hush for the man. Bill used her to prove his manhood and when it was time to be a man whimpered away.[/quote]
