    I would agree except for the fact that she actively pursued him. He didn’t just pick her out of a crowd. She made it a point to be near him. He should have known better than to go there but she initiated the whole thing.

      Expert manipulators and sexual predators are very good at using power imbalances to make people think they want this and pursue it, when i fact they are manipulated into making advances.

      Now whether that was the case is debatable, but there is no blanket “she wanted it” check to hand out here.

        Y’all do know that dismissing Ms. Lewinsky’s opinion and suggesting that her feelings about something she did and judged for herself might be wrong is rather patronizing, don’t you? She is the only person in this universe who can decide that. She has done so. End of.
