This is a bullshit take that Monika Lewinsky denies even now
This was a mutual relationship, mutual on all levels, right from the way it started and all the way through.
If you can make a criticism it’s that Clinton blamed the whole thing on her being a seductive harlot including in his book after the presidency. But you certainly can’t just decide she’s a victim in a sexual relationship because you feel like it’s true, that’s the opposite of believe women and you’re undermining her agency
Your bullshit take is not supported by that Wikipedia article. The power imbalance in their relationship was absolutely massive and she faced severe consequences to her life which Clinton avoided. The relationship itself may not have victimized her to the extent that I had thought, but the aftermath certainly did.
Monica had an affair with an older man before Clinton. She had a 5 year long affair with her high school drama teacher after she graduated high school. That man was married at the time.
Was there a power imbalance? Is Clinton a sex creep who routinely cheats? Yes to both of those.

Sounds more like someone was groomed to accept inappropriate advances from older men in positions of power.
Fair enough. I don’t think my take was ever “bullshit” but it certainly is more well rounded now.
