Being There | Who Do You Think You Are?

I'm not ashamed to admit that to a large extent, I strive to be a combination of both sweetness and kindness and absolute take me now, Mandingo lover in the bedroom; a woman who can assert herself and who knows not only how to please a man but also to get what she wants in return. When did it become wrong to enjoy sex? When and why are women taught that sex is more of a duty than a fun activity and why must it always be loaded with heavy emotional issues. I guess I'm asking what happened to just having some good fucking fun every now and then, or even often and why should that make me or anyone else a slut or less "good." If you ask me, a good woman is one who is mature enough to be both - not some mutton-dressed-as-lamb woman in her late forties who still dresses like a little girl and has hair to her butt because she wants to be coddled like a child. How degrading that would be, and how unattractive I should think it, save for a certain kind of man - and likely one who is too insecure to stand up to a woman who is her own< person and not one defined by the expectations of others.

Think of Bill Clinton. For as much shit as he may have taken, we don't remember him only for the Lewinsky scandal. We see him as a man under a great deal of pressure who simply gave in to natural desire. That Monica Lewinsky planned the whole thing and orchestrated it so incredibly well, from her gift of the book Vox to her pandering and attention, seems to slip by unnoticed. We forget that this is a smart girl, because really, how hard would it be to get the leader of the free world to fuck you in the oval office? I would like to believe it's not a simple affair. That it takes a certain amount of cunning and wit and scheming, none of which is necessarily something to be proud of, but it's certainly not something that she should feel ashamed of. After all, it wasn't Monica who made the vow to Hillary, it was Slippery Willy, who for the most part, is able to slip out of the role of adulterer and back into his role as respected politician.

Monica Lewinsky will forever be in her semen-stained and blue-colored Gap dress with a cigar between her legs and her feet up on the president's desk. It is virtually impossible for her to carve her own way in the world now independently of what happened between her and the President. Lewinsky will forever be remembered as the girl who did it in the Oval Office - a tough thing to shake off.
