Reply #184: Consider two different scenarios

[salin]

serial philander. Elected - likely to have an affair in the office.

serial groper/assualter. Elected - likely to sexually harass female staffers and the female staffers of other elected officials who have business with him (and therefor the staffers have to come in and out of the office). Sexually harass = grab, grope, but the women can't complain (lose job), are now working in a hostile work environment.

In the first scenario the female is a willing participant.

In the latter she is not. She is assualted with lecherous behavior.

As to Clinton - I was disturbed by the stories and followed them closely to figure out beyond Lewinsky (which was the first type/philandering - a problem but consensual and private) to get a sense of whether the charges were contrived (as seemed to be with Willey) and gratuitous slime - or real. Because the forced aspect - is of a concern to me.
