Rudy's got a 20-year-old "communications director" who's still taking college classes (IN COMMUNICATIONS!) online.

"Every day is incredibly fluid," is probably not the very best self-job description a "communications director" with a VERY thin resume could possibly come up with, I'd think, but okay.

@mcfate she’s only twenty. I hope they don’t give her too much hell. She’s just a little chicklet. I felt the same way about Monica Lewinsky. The girl was only 22. She had a lot of learning and growing to do. That was so wrong for her to be torn apart like she was. The power/age dynamic was completely ignored.

@Museek @mcfate monica was no fool. 22 but definitely no angel. not saying what C did was right but she was NOT naive. Look at what she did with the $$ she made from the debaucle..?

@Blackwolf @mcfate i didn’t follow it too closely, tbh. I just think that most kids aren’t really fully mature until they’re about 25. I also tire of people excusing full grown men, laying it all at a young woman’s feet. My opinion, at the time, was that it was their business, not ours. Now that I’ve had daughters, my opinion has changed a bit. He needs to have owned what he did. We all make bad choices and they were consenting adults, it’s true... but the power dynamic was a key factor

@Blackwolf @mcfate just curious though.. what did she do? I always wondered how she’s ever find work again. I know she wrote a book but I was out of the country for a lot of that and being that I never watched much tv, I didn’t follow much. If I can see how it’s going to affect people in the long term, I generally do dig a little more

@Museek @Blackwolf I don't get the impression she's somehow made her fortune as the result of having given Bill Clinton a blowjob, but correct me if I've missed out on something.

@mcfate @Museek A book deal.Before the white house, "In 1992, she allegedly began a five-year affair with Andy Bleiler, her married former high school drama instructor."-wikipedia

@Blackwolf @Museek First, hardly anyone makes a lot of money from a book deal. Second, you seem to be terribly concerned with whom she's having sex.

Honestly, if I thought about Monica Lewinski six times in the past five years, it's probably a lot. Is she actually relevant to something? What? How?

@mcfate @Blackwolf that’s just it.. I wasn’t concerned with their sex lives. However, after I had daughters of my own and then the experience of seeing a young girl coming of age, struggling, it changed my perspective a bit. Why were they blaming a 22 year old when the responsibility lies squarely with the powerful man?

@mcfate @Blackwolf we treat men as if all sense leaves them if sex is proffered. That’s a flimsy excuse...

@mcfate @Museek then let's have more women as CEOS and presidents :) If men can't think with a hard on then they have no business in power or decision making. It's an excuse for doing what one feels entitled to. The reason why we have tickets if a person ignores a stop sign is because without consequences, human nature ignores rules. Men CAN think with a hard on but it's not what they WANT to do in the moment :)

@Blackwolf @Museek

"Let's".

Sorry, I've made all the people CEOs I'm allowed to this decade.

@mcfate @Museek my point about Monica is that not every female is a hapless victim of power-hungry politicians. There are some conniving characters out there of both genders. As a sex addiction therapist, trust me, I've seen it all.

@Blackwolf @mcfate what do you think drives people like that? At any age? Do you think it’s the result of not having parental intervention? Being very independent at a young age?

Follow

@Museek @mcfate my guess is that being the child of an oncologist and writer that maybe pushed their little girl to become something important beyond her capabilities could have something to do with it.
