Bill Clinton's Day of Reckoning

One of the many remarkable things about this cavalcade of comeuppance for sexual abusers and harassers is that it's taking down men who once seemed untouchable to the media in part because they were on the right team: editors and executives at media outlets beloved by progressives, actors and comedians who were the faces of prestige TV shows, Democratic donors. Having “good” politics, it turns out, isn't the same thing as having good sexual politics. Donating or pontificating on behalf of progressive values doesn't stop men from pressing their erections against unwilling colleagues, or kissing co-workers on the mouth, or taking out their penises in front of aspiring mentees.
