The issue is not the actions of Hillary's husband, the issue is her demonizing of the women involved, demeaning them as money-grubbing, destroying their reputations, and maintaining a relationship with a man who believes it is acceptable to exploit women.
Bill Clinton exploited his power over women for sexual gain on a routine and ritualized basis, using state troopers to facilitate this exploitation. I am disgusted. Hillary Clinton -- again and again -- objectified and dehumanized these same women.
In her brief role as a prosecutor, she also did the same to a 12 year old girl who was forcibly raped by Hillary's adult male indigent client.
I am appalled by Hillary's insensitivity to the other women who were wronged by Hillary's husband. Hillary is rich, a Senator, and widely respected. THese mostly low income women had their reputations destroyed and they enjoy none of her privileges.
As a woman who has been cheated on, but also raped, molested and forced to defend my own value by the perpetrator, I can't respect her actions or her position. She is no role model for my daughters.
