True “feminists”, those who really want women to be empowered, would think you sorry for putting yourself, as an adult, in that position. Leftist feminists who are not about women, but about pushing the progressive cause would, and did, call you every name in the book for embarrassing their guy.

Monica’s Lewinsky’s essay in the new issue of Vanity Fair raises all sorts of questions. Why is she writing this now? What does she want? What’s her next move? And of course, what do her words mean for Hillary Clinton? Our colleague Ruth Marcus argues that Lewinsky has done the former secretary of state a solid by plainly stating that the affair was consensual, thus blunting Sen. Rand Paul’s (R-Ky.) argument that Bill Clinton was a sexual predator.
And polls do in fact suggest that Lewinsky is a kind of unintended Hillary Clinton wing woman — the former first lady’s favorable ratings got a significant boost from the focus on her husband’s dalliance with Lewinsky at the time.
But the question that Lewinsky says still troubles her even now, 16 years after the affair came to light, centers on the role of feminism and the movement’s leaders back in 1998 when the former White House intern found herself on the other end of “global humiliation,” and was endlessly branded as a thong-wearing stalker and in recently revealed private conversations, a “narcissistic loony toon,” in the words of Hillary Clinton.
The cigar, the stained blue dress and the salacious Ken Starr report, created a hard-to-shake image of Lewinsky as “a little bit nutty and a little bit slutty” to borrow from another 1990s sex scandal.
Lewinsky’s question is this: “So where, you might be wondering, were the feminists back then?”
