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

But it’s interesting how she turned her victimhood into a career.

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]

Sure "feminist". Like you would not consider her a victim if sex predator Bill (several well documented instances) was a Republican. You would in 2 seconds and you know it. Your hypocrisy says it all.[/quote]

I’m a Dem, fwiw.

But I’m also an older Gen X woman who doesn’t think infantilizing women or not acknowledging their actions and choices is particularly feminist.

Monica wasn’t a child.

Most women—even young women—at that time had sufficient agency to avoid a situation that made them uncomfortable.

Im not condoning what he did, but I also don’t believe she was an unwilling party.

And none of that matters in the slightest when people say they admire her for how she has dealt with the relentless bullying and shaming that she was forced to endure and which will apparently never end.[/quote]
