OK but then you would have been screwing up by doing that. I made PLENTY of bad decisions at 22 as well. I take responsibility for my part in making those decisions. You wouldn't deserve to be flogged for a lifetime because of doing what she did, but she messed up and that should be said first.

that's ridiculous, he was shamed in both, and I'm not shaming her. I'm saying she is an adult and responsible for her actions. Clearly you are 12. (it's you I'm shaming)

I testified against my boss when I was her age.

So, you think that women are weak?

I'll say what I said in another comment - I don't understand why people are interpreting criticism of her as the critic absolving him. Who absolved him? The only thing I can come up with is that some/many of you are looking at him through the eyes of his reputation today. Trust me, at the time he got shamed plenty. If…

He's not great at compassion.

My GOD yes. Agree 100%.

I'm genuinely not getting how so many of you are interpreting the criticism toward her as meaning he's not criticized as well. He has been this entire time. That doesn't mean she doesn't get to get some more flack, considering she's publicly discussing it. What happened to the feminists on this page?

No, I know the discussion never stopped. My response was in response the comment that the incident happened 20 years ago, as if discussing it now is uncalled for.

She was 22, not 12.

thanks, I'm really Piers incognito. Damn, blew my cover.

I star your post 1000 times in my head.

YES! That is such a great point. It's completely insulting - she is part of the weaker sex? Arrgh, no. I find i'm getting worked up over this to unhealthy levels.

I want to scream.

Well, yeah almost 20 years ago, but she just brought the discussion to the present day - which is totally her right and is fine, but of course people are going to have thoughts about it. All the blame didn't land on her by any means - clearly he was blamed as well - but he didn't give a speech about it yesterday, she…

She wasn't raped.

Thank you I was starting to wonder if everyone here had lost their minds.

"of course she got involved with him" ?

Sometimes I really wish we could see commenter's ages. I also wish my burner key worked and I didn't have to register yet another one bcs now I'm back in the damn greys.

Giving a blowjob to the married president of the United States. It's not exactly slut shaming going on here.
