|  | I am appalled at the hypocrisy 
                                                  you all have shown during these 
                                                  Clinton escapades. It is clear 
                                                  that your agenda is abortion/killing 
                                                  of women's babies NOT protecting 
                                                  women from the onslaught of 
                                                  male advances in the workplace. 
                                                  To say that mutual consent makes 
                                                  it alright is a rationale of 
                                                  your feeble-mindness. For a 
                                                  man to use a position of power 
                                                  to further his sexual desires 
                                                  is abhorrent to me. Your hypocrisy 
                                                  is clear to me, free sex for 
                                                  all, just so we can get abortions 
                                                  on demand to get "rid of any 
                                                  inconvenience" that may result. 
                                                  You are not of any help to women 
                                                  although you all may pat yourselves 
                                                  on the back and think you are 
                                                  doing us some great service.

                                              |  | Per your note to FEMINIST.COM, 
                                                  I just wanted to clarify a few 
                                                  points: 
                                                  1.) My agenda--and the agenda 
                                                  of everyone feminist I know--is 
                                                  not "abortion/killing of women's 
                                                  babies." In fact, a basic feminist 
                                                  agenda is to provide enough 
                                                  resources to women so they can 
                                                  make informed choices about 
                                                  their own lives. 2.) Because it was feminists 
                                                  who 1.) coined the terms "sexual 
                                                  assault", "domestic violence", 
                                                  "sexual harassment"; and 2.) 
                                                  who fought for laws that protected 
                                                  women who were confronted with 
                                                  those situations and then some....I 
                                                  do believe that "protecting 
                                                  women from the onslaught of 
                                                  male advances in the workplace" 
                                                  has been primary among feminists' 
                                                  agendas.
 3.) Because Clinton's track 
                                                  record with affairs pre-dates 
                                                  his power as President, I would 
                                                  argue that this affair had little 
                                                  to do with his "power" and more 
                                                  to do with his sexual appetite--and 
                                                  clearly she has a both a sexual 
                                                  appetite and a desire for power, 
                                                  too. 4.) As per your hypocrisy 
                                                  point, personally, I actually 
                                                  think that Clinton purposely 
                                                  didn't have sex with Monica 
                                                  Lewinsky so she wouldn't get 
                                                  pregnant and, therefore, she 
                                                  wouldn't have to "kill" her 
                                                  baby.
 5.) I do believe that my work 
                                                  as a feminist has helped many 
                                                  women.
