Monica Lewinsky Still Passing the Buck

[Shell B]

Look, she made blow jobs popular.  You have to give her credit for that.

Ha, I didn't know blow jobs were losing popularity. I've always been told they're a big hit.

Exactly my point. She wrote an article for Vanity Fair recently saying that the Me Too movement made her realize that her consensual relationship with the President was a gross abuse of power on his part.

Haven't read the article.

It occurs to me that IF what she means here is that superior-subordinate intimate relationships in general inherently are problematic wrt consensuality - and this has nothing to do with her gender - she might have a point.  This incidentally was my primary beef with the affair.

I doubt seriously that's what she means, though.

See, I don't know. I had a boss a long time ago that I came really close to sleeping with. He was technically my superior, but we were both just into each other. I don't think there's a problematic power paradigm in these kinds of relationships. When a person in power uses said power to bed a subordinate under threat of losing their employment or other (housing, etc), then you have a problem. I didn't see that here. It was an unpaid internship and she gave up the goods without a fuss.
