28. Please Explain; What is Wrong With These People?

Tue May 29, 2018, 01:35 PM

May 2018

Please explain to me how Bill Clinton ruined Monica Lewinsky's life? What is wrong with these two claiming Monica Lewinsky was a child? Monica Lewinsky was a 25 year old woman who, as far as I know, pursued a married man. Now, yes, Bill Clinton should have turned her down because he was married, but she also should not have pursued a married man. If Ms. Lewinsky had not pursued a married man her life would not have been affected. Finally, I am not sure I would say Monica Lewinsky's life was ruined. Hasn't Lewinsky been giving Ted Talks? Hasn't she been writing for some magazine? So, Monica Lewinsky has not gotten the Kim K treatment for doing what made Kim K a famous celebrity. I would not say that means her life was ruined; I would say she was not rewarded for giving a man a blow job. At most, Monica Lewinsky was ahead of her time.
