> You believe Lewinsky was a victim of what, exactly?

Being pressured into a sexual relationship by her superior, who was by many standards the most powerful person on the planet at the time?

Like, regardless of whether you believe that's true or not it's pretty obvious how people might arrive at the conclusion that she was a victim and why there's debate about it.

That baseless assertion was excluded from the onset of the case, was never a realistic assumption, and since then this conspiracy theory was put to rest.

So, besides made-up nonsense, you believe Lewinsky was a victim of what exactly?

exactly. We know the opposite happens too, being attracted to powerful people. We'll never know the truth and claiming you do know one way or the other, or that one of those possibilities isn't possible is intellectually dishonest imo.
