Excerpt:
Why does it seem there are certain women who just can’t refuse a man of power, wealth, and/or influence? All the tales make this woman sound like she knew she was being used, that this man was perverse and nasty, and yet she lets it go on? She let him do what he wanted to do within a few minutes of meeting him. And it’s not like she’s the only one in history. Kennedy alone had dozens, maybe hundreds. What’s up with that?
And even 50 years later, she’s crying about how he treated her like a Kleenex. It’s sad to see how devastated she still is, how conflicted, how she still relishes the memory of the attention he gave her while being repulsed at how she was used. What an apropos encapsulation of so much of the culture of sexual license that has grown up in this country – not only was she being used, she was apparently prepared to abort her child if she had turned up pregnant. Killing your child, so this guy could keep abusing you and countless others?
