The idea that the Government can define consensual conduct between adults as "sexual harassment," because of a Feminist theory that demonizes male advances, does not change the issue. (Now, do not get this wrong. When Bill Clinton exposed himself in a public setting, as an intended come on, he should have been arrested for lewd behavior, and taken into custody. That is not the Monica issue.)
But my point was really neither of those. The point of Abuse Of Power, was that Clinton should have been impeached for a very clear dereliction of his public duty; that his actions using his position of "Commander In Chief," to push an asexual agenda in the Military, at the expense of the effectiveness of that Military was indeed a grounds for impeachment. One many times more serious than simply yielding to temptation in private.)
“The idea that the Government can define consensual conduct between adults as “sexual harassment,” because of a Feminist theory that demonizes male advances, does not change the issue”
Using the authority of the presidency, or the governorship as he did before, to procure sexual favors from employees (and interns) is by definition workplace harassment. Consent isn’t a factor except in cases of rape or age.
The issue in the Clinton suit was a pattern of this type of harassment (using official power to get laid, essentially) and this is why he was questioned about his conduct while in office.
