Perhaps they didn't like the Democrat's dirty tricks and wondered why they were kept in the dark about Gray Davis assaulting his female subordinates.

Or it could be women know guys copping a feel is as old as the human race and is nothing to get worked up about... and if really was hurtful, why didn't the alleged victims complain about to Arnold when it happened? Women aren't supposed to wallflowers or else they claim equality only when it happens to suit their political agenda.

There was a difference, if not in their conduct than in their choices. Clinton's women wanted him. The women I talked to about Schwarzenegger did not. But that didn't stop him. This was harassment.

OK conduct if you're a lib, unforgiveable if you have (R) behind your name.

As usual the Left needs to be needed and wants women to know they can't handle a crude advance without them. I do believe there are laws on the books to protect women and men from sexual harrassment and assault. I also understand things are very strict on college campuses.

Oh yeah... tell that to Paula Jones, Kathleen Willey, Juanita Broaderick and the scores of other women that Clinton groped, assaulted, raped and/or murdered.

Yes there are. And I also believe women can be assertive about their desires to men. If a woman doesn't say something when a man makes a pass upon her, he takes it as a signal to proceed further. Women need to speak up since men can't read their minds.

It's something we were born to do.

Now it looks as though the women came forward for nothing.

Flat out admission that the only reason for them to come forward was to keep Gray Davis in office! If they had come forward earlier in the campaign, another Republican could have emerged as a viable replacement candidate if Arnold was knocked out of the race from the charges. They didn't want that to happen. They wanted to wait until voters had a choice of either keeping Gray or replacing him with Arnold.

Exactly. I believe liberal women have a failure to communicate. Or did they make the effort? It isn't too clear in the Times' stories apart from the after the fact complaints whether they ever told Arnold they didn't like what he was doing. Allegedly of course.

In our society, even with "women's lib", the man is still expected to make the "first move"...

Joy Browne, a psychologist and syndicated radio talk show host, remembered him running his hands along her legs while she conducted an hourlong, live interview with him early in her career. He later tried to lure her to his hotel room, she said.

An hour?! And she wants us to believe she didn't like it? Just stood there for an hour? Gimme a break.

Consider the source. Mary Jo Melone is a long-time, bleeding-heart, liberal columnist for the St. Petersburg Times (aka Pravda West). She's the darling of her publishing company, which by the way, is actually a private, leftist foundation that funds the newspaper in perpetuity.

She's one of the main reasons I cancelled my subscription a decade ago.
