Janice, I think it's time to admit that SH has been blatantly been used purely as a lever to advance the agenda of the National Organization for Women. And the media has been a willing participant in this charade. The agenda being:
1) To make sure only Judges who would uphold Roe vs. Wade be nominated to the Supreme Court.
2) To take out Congressmen who have an "R" in front of their name.
The NOW gang's conspicuous lack of support for Jones, while they very loudly orchestrated the very personal attacks on Clarence Thomas and Senator Bob Packwood makes their charade as transparent as everyone with half a brain knew it was all along.
I suggest that the NOW gang and any other Democrat has never cared a whit about the issue of sexual harassment, except where it could be used to advance the liberal agenda.
When you say >I believe that women should be free from genuine sexual harassment in the office and in other areas of their lives.<
Kathleen Willey's husband had died the day that she sought an audience with President Clinton, to request help in finding employment. Would you not define it as sexual harassment for Clinton to then proceed in that meeting to grope her body and kiss her? What position was Ms. Willey in to resist? Her husband had just died and she was unemployed, seeking help from the most powerful man on earth.
re >And remember: the only woman who has ever actually accused Clinton of harassment is Jones.<
According to what I read, Ms. Willey has, in a deposition to the Paula Jones legal team, said Pres. Clinton's advances were unsolicited. The fact that Clinton, particularly when he's President of the US would impose himself on a woman the day her husband died is despicable, IMO, and certainly does qualify as SH. But, I doubt we'll ever hear anything from the NOW gang on it, because Clinton is their golden boy.
