AFAICT the only one calling her a slut is some redpill moron who thinks he’s crafted some amazing gotcha against #metoo.
Could she be a victim of her sluttiness?
Is Bill Clinton a manwhore?
I think slut’s a pretty good appellation for someone that deliberately goes hunting the scalp of a married man,
And I would be just as happy to apply it to a man that does the reverse - there’s no need for it to be gender specific term
I remember hearing at the time that she went to DC to “hunt big game” and had her eye, at one time, on George Stephanopolis. Don’t know if this is actually true or Clintonian disinformation.
Make it more than one redpill moron then.
What makes it ok to deliberately set out to get someone to cheat on their partner?
What is the appropriate term that you would apply to such a person?
Or would you congratulate them for their success?
Note - a person that cheats is just as bad
A person who cheats is worse. Monica never made a promise to anyone.
Neither – although I don’t have a very high opinion of her. She seems more like a total dumbass.
If anyone was a slut, it was Bill. But that was Hillary’s problem, not the public’s.
Do you know how many presidents we’d have had to kick out of office throughout history if that were the standard?
How do you still have a hard-on from calling someone a slut for a indiscretion they committed in the '90?
Is your sex life that bad?
Are you so desperate to deflect attention from the pussy-grabbing/porn star paying occupant of the WH?
What the fuck is your problem?
It appears that she was working in the Bush Whitehouse; Clinton staff were not especially enthusiastic about her, so they sent her off to work in Pentagon PR. She does not seem to have been a particularly savory character.
what the fuck is your problem?
I don’t know what world you live in, but in my world cheating is not ok and neither is going trophy hunting for a married man.
that Clinton was a jerk doesn’t excuse her behaviour.
In the world I live in it is none of your business what consenting adults do behind closed doors.
Get a life.
Why are you so worried about her then? She wasn’t blowing Chretien, or did I miss something during that scandal.
Bingo. Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinsky were adults who had a consensual relationship. But by outing her, Ken Starr did tremendous damage to Lewinsky’s life. He is the one who victimized Lewinsky, not Bill Clinton. He clearly regarded her as merely collateral damage in his hunt for something to bring down Clinton’s presidency.
Has he ever apologized to her? I’d bet big money that the answer is ‘No.’
She was a member of the deep state?
It seems to me that you do not understand the concept of power over a subordinate.
It has nothing to do with being “off the mark.” You used the word “slut.” This is a word that decent people don’t use, but is common in misogynist circles, and in particular Republicans going after women.
Sure, you admitted you were wrong to do use it, so that’s great. But you still have to expect to take your lumps for doing it. Especially since you kinda soft-pedaled your apology.
I’m not trying to be mean at all here, BTW. I’m just pointing out that what they said is reasonable inference if they didn’t read your apology. “Slut” really is considered that shitty of a term to use.
To me, it seems the problem is that you defended the word “slut,” which most of us know as a term used to attack women for enjoying sex. That made you come off as misogynist.
It appears the word you actually want is “cheater.” I definitely can agree with that term, as it takes two to cheat. As long as both of them knew that Hillary didn’t approve, they’re both cheaters.
Still, the reaction to the public for her being a cheater was overblown. And it assumes something we don’t necessarily know: were Bill and Hillary in an open relationship? A lot of people assumed they were, even before Lewinksi entered the picture. And, even if they weren’t, it matters whether Bill told Monica they were.
BTW, my morals are that you can have sex with someone for whatever reason you want as long as all parties (which includes any committed partners) are in on it. So if she wanted a “trophy” and both Bill and Hillary were okay with that, then it would be acceptable. If only Bill was okay with that, then it was cheating on his behalf, and on hers if she knew.
Yet, even then, I say it’s overblown. It’s really an issue for them. The person Monica potentially harmed was Hillary, not the US public.
Is there any indication that Clinton pressured her into the relationship?
I’ve got to concur with the sentiment of many in this thread that ‘slut’ is a misogynistic word.
A man who has sex with a lot of different women is a ‘stud,’ but a woman who has sex with a lot of different men is a ‘slut.’ The word used to describe male promiscuity is very positive, while the word used to describe female promiscuity is very denigrating.
The very different valuation of the same activity depending on gender should not be something that we are preserving here.
