I thought female member of this board would probably react different about Clinton if we thought of it in terms of sexual harrasment instead of the misconception that it's about consensual sex.
The Republicans set out to impeach Clinton over his consensual sexual dalliance with Monica Lewinsky. They were on a political witch hunt.
Playing the sexual harrassment card for political favor doesn't work for me. As far as "female member of this board", she realizes that accusations of what constitutes sexual harrassment, cover a broad spectrum. One person's definition of sexual harrassment can be quite different from another person's definition. For example, a guy I used to work with took a liking to me, flirted with me and eventually asked me out. Does this constitute sexual harrassment? I hardly think so. I wasn't interested in the guy, so I laughed it off and politely told him that I had a policy to not date guys I work with. Another person may have considered that sexual harrassment. I believe that women who are truly sexually harrassed in the work place should not tolerate it whatsoever, but there have been frivolous lawsuits that have cheapened the issue of true sexual harrassment.
DCkozak pretty much summed up my feelings. Our current administration is a disaster and has caused what may be irreparable harm to this country.
