Look, I've already been kicked out of feminism and shunned by the Twitter cool kids, so I might as well put it out there:

I'm with Hillary. A 22 year old is an adult.

Monica knew what she wanted, she went after it, and she got it.

(That's coming from her, not me)

1/
And I'm not dragging Monica either. I've been defending her for 20 years.

I think it's kinda awesome that she had the balls to sneak into the Oval Office and flash her underwear to the leader of the free world.

You can make an argument that he should have said no, but that doesn't make her his victim.

This idea that he was using his position to seduce helpless interns is just false. He never would have met her if she hadn't orchestrated it.

I know young girls "don't know their own strength" so to speak, and as a society we've decided they need legal protection from themselves up to age 18.

But 18 is 18. If now we're saying 22 year olds don't have agency, where is the line? 24? 28?

4/
If a 35 year old volunteer snuck into the Oval Office and flashed her panties, would we be calling her a victim?

No.

And some (not me!) would call her a lot worse things than "looneybird"

5/
We need to stop relitigating the Starr Report. Those of us who lived it know Ken Starr was Inspector Javert. He left no stone unturned. He went after Bill and Hillary with everything thing he had.

And in the end, all he had was Monica

6/
Republicans hate the Clintons. The media hate the Clintons. Some Dems do too

We aren't doing ourselves any favors by buying into their narrative, and we hurt our own credibility. Forget Al Franken, we'll NEVER have the moral high ground as long as they can WHATABOUT Bill
7/
For some reason (*ahem* Trump. Bernie) every baseless charge from the Whitewater investigation is fair game again.

Juanita Broderick testified twice under oath that Bill never touched her. Kathleen Willey is pretty sure Hillary kidnapped her cat.

8/
Trust me, if Ken Starr would have killed or died to charge Bill with rape. But he didn't have a case. If he didn't find the two of them credible, they are not credible. Anyone taking "their side" does not have all the facts and have fallen for Trump and Bernie's BS.

9/
If you haven't read the Starr Report, I highly recommend you do. It's quite a read and it might give you some perspective and piece of mind.

And it's salacious af.

I'll leave you with this: Sometimes a cigar is by no means just a cigar
