If all the sexual allegations now swirling around the White House turn out to be true, President Clinton may be a candidate for sex addiction therapy. But feminists will still have been right to resist pressure by the right wing and the news media to call for his resignation or impeachment. The pressure came from another case of the double standard.
there was and is a difference between the accusations against Mr. Clinton and those against Bob Packwood and Clarence Thomas. Commentators might stop puzzling over the presidents favorable poll ratings, especially among women, if they understood the common-sense guideline to sexual behavior that came out of the womens movement 30 years ago: no means no; yes means yes.
Its the basis of sexual harassment law. It also explains why the news medias obsession with sex qua sex is offensive to some, titillating to many and beside the point to almost everybody. Like most feminists, most Americans become concerned about sexual behavior when someones will has been violated; that is, when no hasnt been accepted as an answer.

No does NOT always mean NO to liberal feminazis. Planned Parenthood was busted encouraging minor girls bored by sex to engage in rough BSDM with their boyfriends and to learn about 'safe words' since in rape fantasy and abusive play, 'no' doesn't really mean 'NO'.
This used to be called corrupting a minor and was criminal activity.
