10. I am a bit surprised and disappointed by all that

I sense that even some otherwise good feminists are looking at this as a way to protect Hillary rather than a way to treat Monica like a human being and not follow the status quo of evil succubus home wrecker while the man goes ahead with life as normal.

There have been posts by strong Hillary supporters about Monica's past sex life and try to paint it as distasteful and gross and generally how awful a person she is because she had sex and are judging who and how old her mates were -- mainly because they see her as a threat to Hillary's run, I suppose. The fact that Monika apparently had an abortion was also brought up. Jesus Christ.

A particular poster of this kind is one of the first ones to cry out sexism at every opportunity whether deserved or not when it's applied against Hillary but has no trouble spouting this ancient evil woman crap against Monica.

That is sad beyond sad.
