“Some might argue that because Lewinsky and Gracen had relations when Clinton was in a position of executive authority, Clinton engaged in sexual harassment.”
Just call me “Some”, then. A middle-manager at a burger joint would have been charged with sexual harassment, if he’d even suggested an employee do what B.J. had Lewinsky do to him. Clinton was the “most powerful man in the world” and Lewinsky a lowly intern — there could be no bigger “power differential” between the two. When the NOW defended B.J.’s actions, I lost all respect for the “feminist movement” (but, not for the ideal of equality of the sexes). “Argue” indeed — it was sexual harassment; there is no counter-argument.
Exactly!
There was no sexual harassment in the Lewinsky affair. She had the hots for him and it was completely consensual. He acted like a jackass, abused his position and his office, but Lewinsky was completely compliant.
If she had been a student and he was a professor, that would have been moral turpitude. He’s still an idiot.
