1. I’m a big fan of both of these ladies and I think each of them are more beautiful than ever.
2. While you are making comparisons between the Clinton/Lewinsky scandal and your own scandal I am comparing the former to my parents’ relationship which notwithstanding the marriage and children was essentially identical to Clinton and Lewinsky. I think I’ll write about that elsewhere.
3. As far as anyone reevaluating their time with you well…….that may happen and it may be brought to your attention. I think the answer is to try not to worry about it and focus on your own understanding that yeah, maybe there was some power imbalance in those affairs that was part of their being problematic. If you own that then you can stand firm in that if anyone takes that stand with you.
I was sooo busy & glanced and then, as usual, your impeccable writing pulled me in. Thank you for this thoughtful piece. I’m still mulling it over as I identify with both women and you at points in my life.

Thanks, Bill. We share a great admiration for both these women.

Thank you, Leisa, for reading!
This brought to mind a thoughtful piece Molly Ringwald wrote about working with John Hughes
a few years ago: https://www.newyorker.com/culture/personal-history/what-about-the-breakfast-club-molly-ringwald-metoo-john-hughes-pretty-in-pink
Yes, I very much had that in mind - it was one tab open along with Monica’s Vanity Fair piece.
