i somehow never realized that monica lewinsky was twenty-two when everything happened and my casual sympathy for her just turned into visceral, crushing terror at the fact that a girl my age was internationally humiliated and driven to suicidal ideation and is still to this day used as a punchline while bill clinton, like, basically gets to continue living his life and enjoying all the perks of being a former president and in all likelihood will be back in the white house in a couple of years
