It was about what she could do for him, not what he could do for her. No one would ever call their arrangement an act of love. It was really a matter of male convenience and I have scant sympathy for any woman who sells herself to a man for so little.

"IF" this was just about a "male" and a "woman" I would totally agree.
However, I think when the situation is the President of the US over 50 and a "silly" young woman, under 25, has the elements of "sex" abuse, kinda like that prison in Iraq.
Seems to me there is a plausible case for Monica to file suit for damages with old bj's words, cause she protected his sorry @ss and this is the thanks she gets.
You're forgetting that she thought it was love and that he'd leave Hillary for her.
She was foolish, he was (and is) a scoundrel.
Bill is rushing headlong to embrace his Monica affair as his 'mistake" that caused so much "marital discord" in an apparant (to me) effort to distance himself from his dozens of other Monicas over the years that Hillary was equally aware of. Their marriage always was one of convenience, not fidelity.
I wouldn't be so harsh on poor naive Monica.
The real villain is that lying Satanic hypocrite Clinton. Even in writing books he is full of lies.
Does ANYBODY believe for ONE MINUTE that he had "sleep on the counch" because Hillery was so distraught with the Monica episode?? If she was, it was only because he was caught. Hillery and the sexual predator have no normal marriage. Its a purely political arrangement, although he probably had sex with her initially only "because he could" as he would put it.

Monica is the classic "young naive girl"(not a mature woman) who was raised in a shallow materialistic environment of southern California so she was ripe for the picking by Clinton and his trapping of power just like poor slain Chandra Levi was. These are babes in the woods among wolves like sacrificial lambs. I don't condone what these "girls" did but their naive impressionable gullability sure was taken advantage of by OLDER worldy males who KNEW BETTER! Could you imagine if helpless Chelsea Clinton was taken advantage of, hwo the Clintons would react. Double standards of the elite at the top of the food chain.
Woman is the operative word. She's was not a woman, she was a young girl and Clinton took advantage of that. The most powerful man in the world was giving her attention, and she mistook that for love as only a young girl could. It's a very old story. I do have empathy for her. This is precisely why we have the workplace sexual harrassment laws. Exactly for this reason. HE WAS THE PERSON IN POWER. To have this all dredged up again after all this time must be difficult for her. YES, I DO FEEL FOR HER. Flame me if you want. I don't care.
Well, it's not a matter of sympathy, really.
Consenting adults can reasonably indulge in a dalliance with no real romantic connection between the two. If she had any maturity, she would have understood that.
She has clearly been off her rocker about the liason ever since it happened. Valentines Day classified? Telling what's-her-name that she thought Clinton was her 'soul mate?' And now this - being upset when he matter-of-factly evaluates the dalliance as nothing special at all.
At least in matters of Clinton, she has no grasp of what's real. She mistakes a sudden, indulgent act or oral sex for a genuine romantic connection with her soul mate.
This is punctuated by the fact that most people had incredible clarity about the situation.
