But there ARE distinctions. Did Arnold intimidate these women? We don't know that yet, but I'm inclined to think not. Did he threaten any of their families? Doubtful. And I don't hesitate at all to make a distinction between rape and butt pinching.

The distinction you are making reminds me of that old joke than ends with something along the lines of "we've already established what you are, now we're just negotiating the price." The main thing I have always felt about Arnold - and it goes back to seeing "Pumping Iron" when it came out -is that he is a bully. He is an equal opportunity bully, does it to both men and women. Early in his career, he told the movie makers he was willing to go on the road and collect for the movie from the distributors. By any means necessary. That's a real good trait for the Governor of California. :>)
