While in some ways I feel sorry for Lewinsky, she made a very stupid decision that ruined her life. However, the blame should also fall on Clinton. He had no problem pushing a sexual relationship with Lewinsky and openly lied about it. Had it not been for Lewinsky keeping the infamous blue dress, Clinton’s minions would have smeared her reputation even more or worse still she could have been another Vince Foster. Despite Clinton being a pervert scumbag and perjurer, he has been glorified and is making millions while Lewinsky was dumped like yesterday’s trash.

Well said!.
My socialist spouse and I agree on one thing here. The awesome power wielded by an irresponsible man. This as opposed to a vulnerable young woman. Just quick homily here on the case, most Americans heard of in the 1960's. John Profumo, Britain's Defence Minister, was caught out with call girl Christine Keeler. He resigned and went into "Charity Work".
Years later, a Canadian gadfly, Fred C Dobbs followed up on the two participants in the affair. (Later thrown off the CBC- too raunchy). Profumo was give high honours by the Queen and went to Buckingham Palace for the honour. Lots of money in his bank. Christine Keeler had a little two room "flat". She was lunch lady at a local school. Then they fired her, because of the whispers and jokes. I believe she went on assistance benefits. Old Victorian expression among women.
The woman always pays!
