Sorry, I don't think a woman is a "victim" in that situation. In the form of coersion to keep the job, absolutely. But not between two willing participants.

I'm not arguing that Lewinsky was a "victim" so much as I am that the Clinton exhibited extremely poor judgment and an extremely low moral threshold. He should not have seduced an intern, whether she was willing or not. And not in the oval office.
Clinton is responsible for the nutjobs taking control of the country. In their zeal to put someone "moral" on the job, the American right installed an immoral idiot, but one that doesn't cheat on his wife.
Maybe I shouldn't, but I blame Clinton for the sad state of our country today. Bush was an extreme overreaction to an extremely bad decision on Clinton's part.
