Think a relationship with your superior is ever consensual. Huge power dynamic issues especially when someone's the president
From Ms. Lewinsky's position, it was wholly consensual, in that as a nineteen-year-old intern she got to have sex with a POTUS, and Clinton was not too creepy (for the nineties). Her problem was that once the encounter happened, the White House felt the need to distance her from Clinton which affected her career.
The You're Wrong About podcast did a good beeakdown of it all.
But fucking a hooker is better than getting a blowjob?
That's not the point they made. It was because he lied. It was because he cheated on his wife. Yet trump full on pays for a hooker and no one gives a fuck. Even Dems voted to impeach Clinton.
Remember when Gore conceded in a too-close-call election because he didn't want to risk compromising the integrity of the entire federal government by dragging out the fight?
It's almost cute now
