      1. Stormy Daniels is shaping up to be a real thorn for Trump administration but usual media allies (Fox, Breitbart) have been largely reticent about going after her. Why?

      2. There's a host of factors at work (Daniels is not an easy person to shame or intimidate, she might have photos & who wants to die on this hill).

      3. But another factor might be that the shaming normal in sex scandals doesn't quite work anymore, thanks to feminist activism. I make the case here:https://newrepublic.com/article/147420/tale-two-women-two-eras …

          Also, don't forget that "progressives," liberals, and feminists such as Gloria Steinem vilified Monica Lewinsky, now they're on the other side.

          Two factors missing in your theory: 1. Clinton/Lewinsky occurred during the presidency, in the Oval; that's easily seen as more degrading to the Office and the country than a previous affair. 2. The normal rules NEVER apply to Trump. All bets are off.

          Fwiw I knew of nobody in my peer group (women within GenX) who sneered at Monica. Maybe some GenX guys did, and I know older people who did.

          yeah but... where is the demand that Melania take responsibility for Presiden Peckerwood when they demand Hillary take responsibility for Bill's extra-marital proclivities?

          It is the prenup. Bets are that she's got proof. And they desperately want this to go away before proof appears. Because the cheeto in chief will be giving Melania 50% of everything if proof of infidelity surfaces.

          Agree that age difference is important here. But this ignores the history of feminists' mixed feelings about porn industry having nothing to do with slut shaming; It also ignores Trump hatred as the reason for Daniels' relatively positive press.
