As the parent of a daughter, I agree with you totally, Alexa. Of course Monica is acting out, very self-destructively, on a huge scale. But as I pointed out on another thread, she obviously has not only longstanding self-esteem problems, but at the very least, a mother who was apparently a very bad example, in that she was a sexual predator with married men. Not as much as known about her father, yet, but from the divorce petition it seems he may have treated her very harshly, and did not give her the approval little girls need from their fathers to grow up reasonably healthy, emotionally speaking.
I am glad that you also pointed out that this was not in any way reciprocal sex--Clinton was using her for his own sexual gratification.
One of the really slimy things going on here is that we are seeing the usual Clinton administration attempt to discredit her as one of the "nuts and sluts" who prey on the president. This is very similar to the "bimbo eruptions" we saw in the 1992 campaign, and in my opinion is a dichotomy which is inexcusable with a supposedly feminist president. |
