Again, I said ignorant was a poor choice of words Jay. Please don't make this my "if you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor" moment lol
I'm not making assumptions... The president was cigar banging the intern in the White House. That went down. I'm fairly confident that when your career will be in politics you want the president to like you... Sure it could be that hes an old perv. Old pervs that don't have the intelligence to not shit where they eat should not be president... And look at how it worked ou, so I guess I'm right And I not so sure that a girl with daddy issues would save a jiz stained dress and vag stained cigar tube to give to the prosecuter
She saved the cigar and dress because she is wasn't some naive and helpless 22 year old like you assume. She knew what she was doing and knew having evidence like that could have been very valuable at some point. You are also saying something happened that the victim herself disagrees with, so yes I would say you are making assumptions.
Actuallly you're wrong. In an essay for Vanity Fair’s March issue, Lewinsky said the #MeToo movementmade her begin to grapple with the power dynamics at play in her relationship with Clinton. “Now, at 44, I’m beginning (just beginning) to consider the implications of the power differentials that were so vast between a president and a White House intern. I’m beginning to entertain the notion that in such a circumstance the idea of consent might well be rendered moot,” she wrote. “But it’s also complicated. Very, very complicated.”
So where does she say he forced himself on her? Again, making assumptions from some pretty vague quotes. No worries, we just don't agree on this one NY.
We were both wrong. Tripp was the one that told her to save the dress. Q: Monica, why did you keep that black dress? ... Blue dress. Lewinksy: I didn't have a reason ... if I remember correctly, I didn't really realise that there was anything on it until I went to go wear it again ... ... I had shown the dress to Linda at that point and had just sort of said to her ... "Isn't this stupid?" Or, you know, "Look at this, isn't this gross?" Or whatever. I don't really remember exactly what I said. And she told me that I should put it in a safe deposit box because it could be evidence one day. And I said that was ludicrous because I would never - I would never disclose that I had a relationship with the president, I would never need it. And then when Thanksgiving time came around and I told her that I was going to wear it for Thanksgiving, she told me I looked fat in the dress, I shouldn't wear it. She brought me a jacket from her closet ... to try to persuade me not to wear the dress. So I ended up not wearing it and then I was going to clean it. I took it with me up to New York and was going to clean it up there and then this broke.
I'm not making an assumption. She herself is saying the power differential made it inappropriate. And I never said he phsically force himself on her. All good dude. Everyone has a right to an opinion... Even if the opinion sides with the old perv sexual harrasser
The way I read this, she is basically saying that back when she was 22 and she was sleeping with Billy boy, it did not occur to her that the power differentials was an issue or were even at play in their relationship. She's admitting that it took her 22 more years to realize that it may have been an issue. Being that she didn't see anything wrong with it back then, why should we see her as a victim in the situation now? Seems like hindsight is 20/20 here.
Y’all are a bunch of cigar smokers... Lol. Work is lame today and the surf is lame! Lewinsky was star struck and Billy exploited her young mind. I guess I lean towards NYJ’s perspective...he took advantage of her with his position (figuratively speaking).
I know it's flat and all but you guys are going full on insane with this shit. I want to put you all in a room and smash your heads together but you guys would probably gang up on me and beat the snot out of me so that's not an option. How about boobs? Let's talk about boobs. All the different shapes and sizes. Different colored nipples. How enticing side boob can be. A female coming up from her first duck dive and everything is hard and the top is all out of place... MBGA. Make Boobs Great Again.
Just because you don't realize something is inappropriate does not mean that it is not. I did a lot of shit I thought was fine when I was young. Today I realize I was an asshole
True. It being inappropriate wasn't the issue I was debating though. It was definitely inappropriate, on both of their parts. My point was that she is no victim. She wanted that D, and she got it.
