1. Oh c'mon!

This hardly qualifies as a #metoo/victim situation. Prior to going to D.C., Lewinsky wrote that her goal was to get her "presidential kneepads".

I feel as little pity for HER choice as I do for Evelyn Nesmit (Stanford White).

I'm a feminist and don't tolerate genuine sexual harassment and/or assault, slut-shaming.

2. Agreed. The Clinton/Lewinsky consensual affair would've remained...

their secret if not for her own disclosures.

9. Exactly.

The wife of one of her high school teachers said they moved to get away from her. She showed up in their new town!! Chasing after married men was her specialty. No sympathy whatsoever. Shame that Clinton did not have more self control, but she was no shrinking little violet. Aggressive as hell. Still dragging this out after all these years. Nobody heard from Jennifer Fitzgerald in the 10 years she was cavorting with G.H.W. Bush. Since he was gop, it was kept under wraps, even though it was common knowledge in DC.

3. Monica

Brought about her own destruction by bragging to Linda Tripp and Lucianne Goldberg.

Clinton was a fool for accepting her offer. He knew Republicans were just waiting to get him on something.

She had an affair with a married man. He accepted. Neither one considered Hillary or Chelsea.

Monica Lewinsky was a consenting adult. Not some Teen Age Beauty contestant, or friends wife.Clinton need not apologize

Just to his wife and daughter.

6. How long do we have to beat the dead horse??

Didn't this happen in 1993, or sometime last century? Didn't he get exposed and disgraced? Didn't his wife bear the brunt of his private stunt that very likely cost her the White House on her terms?

Sweet Jesus....MOVE ON! We have a dark scum sucker dwelling in the White House today that is doing disgraceful acts on an hourly basis. Do we have to keep digging this back up as though it matters at all?

If I remember correctly, Monica Lewinski was an adult..a consenting adult. I don't think he tied her up and brought her into the Oval Office for a little hanky panky. Me too doesn't ALWAYS apply.

Shame on him. Shame on us for being fixated on this 25 years later, as though it happened yesterday.

7. 100% correct. But it would also help if Bill just stepped away from the spotlight a bit more.

I think that is a difficult thing for him to do.

8. Associating this with the metoo moment does the movement a disservice, imo.

Bill and Monica were two consenting adults, and she was not pressured into doing anything. I think it’s pretty silly to try and make Monica Lewinsky into a victim. I really don’t like Bill Clinton, but this does a disservice to real victims.
