Lewinsky was a skank groupie who knew EXACTLY what she wanted, and she snapped her thong at it. Clinton was the weak one.

yes, and it was a work relationship, which a reasonable 3rd party could say could have meant she felt coerced.

But I've always thought this country is really full of very uptight prudes when it comes to sex. It's our Quaker roots, I guess.

There is a strong body of evidence that shows that power in such a relationship is essentially like a date-rape drug.

I don't see that at all.

Either its power + intimidation, in which case its somewhat coercive and in the worst cases could actually be rape, but isn't like a date rape drug (not the same level of confusion, no semi-consciousness, or unconsciousness, and no short term memory effects)

or its power causing attraction and excitement, if that's a date rape drug than an attractive body would be do, which is silly.
