A 22 year old intern was paid sexual attention by the fucking leader of the free world, which would be hard for a lot of people to resist, even if they weren't walking around with a not-yet-fully-formed prefrontal cortex. Then she was publicly shamed, vilified, called fat, trashy, and every other thing under the sun for decades afterwards, while Clinton largely went on with his life. Sure, he had a few uncomfortable months, but in the end no-one really thought much differently of him than they had before. Meanwhile, her name is still largely synonymous with whore, home-wrecker, slut, etc...

Inspite of all of this, she went on to make a positive life for herself. If you don't understand why that isn't worthy of a TEDTalk or status as a feminist you don't understand the world that women live in.
