you idiot, misogynist means hating women, Clinton doesn't hate women just opposite, that's what got him in trouble, couldn't resist a blowy
No wonder that gal you dated became a lesbian. They way you think, you're doing them a favor with selfish sexual advances. They were "leading you on", right pocopervert/

Although Monica Lewinsky never claimed she was sexually harassed by Bill Clinton, her relationship with him was used as proof in his pattern of abuse and affairs during the time he held high positions of power. Before Monica’s experience is shown in American Crime Story’s season, Impeachment sets up his story with a lawsuit for sexual harassment by Paula Jones (Annaleigh Ashford). In her allegation, Jones claimed that while Clinton was governor of Arkansas, he sexually propositioned her in a hotel room where he unwarrantedly exposed himself after she had already rejected his advances. Jones’ lawsuit picked up traction in the media, where several conservative figures assisted her in the case as they tried to bring Clinton down.

Jones’ case was what truly began the real-life presidential impeachment of Bill Clinton, where he was accused of perjury after denying any sexual relationship with Lewinsky in his testimony. While Jones was the biggest player in his impeachment, plenty of other women came forward about past abuse, including White House aide Kathleen Willey, who is played by Elizabeth Reaser in American Crime Story. Willey claimed that Clinton groped her in his office without consent in 1993, an experience detailed in Impeachment episode 1 where she exposes the situation to co-worker Linda Tripp (Sarah Paulson). Following Jones and Willey’s public accusations, at least six other women have come forward accusing Bill Clinton of sexual harassment.





Aside from Jones and Willey, the most highly publicized accusation was by Juanita Broaddrick, a former volunteer for Bill Clinton who accused him of sexually assaulting her during his 1978 gubernatorial campaign. The most recent public accusation has come from Leslie Millwee, who in 2016 claimed that Clinton, as the governor of Arkansas in 1980, sexually assaulted her on three separate occasions while she worked at a now-defunct Arkansas TV station. Other accusations include flight attendant Cristy Zercher from 1992, University of Oxford peer Eileen Wellstone in 1969, campaign staffer Sandra Allen James in 1991, and a former professor from the University of Arkansas who claimed Clinton groped a female student in his office while he was a professor.

Even if many of the accusations didn’t culminate in lawsuits, one thing is clear: Clinton had a pattern of sexual misconduct while in high positions of power. It’s also important to note that sexual harassment is not what Clinton was on trial for in his impeachment – the accusations were used to get him in a place to commit perjury whereafter he was tried, and thus he was only acquitted of perjury, not the sexual harassment. At one point in the American Crime Story series, Linda Tripp mentions she knows at least 10 women in the White House who had had such interactions with Clinton, showing he was quite obvious with his sexual misconduct while in power. Clinton’s lawsuits also caused controversy between parties wherein Republicans used them as a tool to remove him from office while many Democrats were encouraged to look the other way to keep him as president.
