[QUOTE="questor70, post: 1183493, member: 12560"] When these self-serving apologias are written they always come across as though it's a guilty person desperately seeking forgiveness. You could drop this into a monologue in a courtroom drama it sounds so defensive. If it was never so bad in the first place then you wouldn't feel the need to air your dirty laundry and try to reshape public opinion on questionable conduct. We know how much women care about their social status. Any attempt on their part to suggest they are free-spirits who give no fucks is bullshit. The more hostile/defiant/hamstery they get the more they reveal how much they care about how others view them. See Monica Lewinsky for a good example of this plea to rewrite the narrative and make themselves the protagonist of their own narrative. Note that this article is an opening-salvo to a full-on memoir so this woman obviously thinks she's pretty damn important. [/QUOTE]
