Actually, Steinem wrote an op-ed in 1998 in the NY Times about Bill Clinton grabbing a handful of Kathleen Willey not Paula Jones, and excused Clinton because he stopped when Willey said no. This from the leader of the feminist movement that continues to tell us that unwanted attention is tantamount to sexual assault and unwanted touching is a capital offense. As well in that article, Steinem further pegged the feminist hypocrisy meter by approving of Clinton's relationship with a subordinate, a very young subordinate, Monica Lewinsky, saying it was not a coercive relationship. This is yet another thing feminists continue to insist that whenever a man in power is in a relationship with a subordinate, it's always coercive even if the subordinate says it's consensual because his position makes it impossible not to be coercive.
The Times has removed the article from its website, but the smart guys at MRC have a link to a jpg of it within an article that discusses its disappearance. https://www.newsbusters.org/blogs/nb/tom-blumer/2017/12/26/has-new-york-times-made-gloria-steinems-original-1998-defense-bill
