[quote=Anonymous]I don't think it's fair to judge Hillary on her actions in the 90s by the standards we have now.

We're usually much more careful about using a woman's past, especially her sexual past, to discredit her now than we were 20 years ago.*

That being said, if you believe that your political enemies are manufacturing adultery stories in order to ruin your husband's political career, wouldn't it make sense to try to discredit them?  I'm not sure what I would have done in her situation.

Bill told Hillary that he hadn't been unfaithful and these women were lying, and she believed him.  From the story, it looks like she was on board with trying to show that the women were not telling the truth, but she did not direct the efforts.  Later, when she found out Bill had lied to her about affairs, she felt betrayed and had to take stock of her marriage.

* Donald Trump DURING THIS ELECTION has personally used a woman's sexual history in an attempt to discredit her.  To my mind this is worse than what Hillary did.

I don't think it's wrong for this issue to be discussed.  It's a good issue for feminists to think about, especially feminists who want to be politicians.  This was sort of new ground when Clinton was involved in it in the nineties and I think she was in a bit of a damned-if-you-do, damned-if-you-don't situation.

Know what's worse?  Donald Trump's lewd and sexist behavior on The Apprentice set.  I also think it's nuts that adulterer Donald Trump and his team of sexist adulterous advisors including Guliani and Ailes want to lecture a woman on how to behave when your husband is accused of cheating.  [/quote]
