Perhaps no one answered because they were put off by your attitude toward women by your statement. Why should one dignify such an idiotic comment such as "Jones wanting it"?

Welcome to the minefield of sexual consent in today's world. :)

Gennifer Flowers: doesn't have a power relationship with the president; consensual relationship; Clinton admitted to affair under oath; no political fallout from his admission.

Paula Jones: does have a power relationship (works for his organization) but did accept an invitation to his hotel room at night. Perhaps it was harrassment but her case looks thin to me. Not thin enough to dismiss out of hand though.

Monica Lewinsky: definitely a direct employment relationship, complicated by her star-struck attitude and her lack of claim that she was harrassed. Perjury about it is a different issue, though.

Kathleen Willey: allegation of flat out non-consensual sexual harrassment. Everybody with an "I believe you Anita" bumper sticker needs to get an "I believe you Kathleen" bumper sticker to go with it.
When a woman accuses a Republican of this kind of behaviour, the accusation machinery comes out, but when a women accuses Clinton of it, the spin turns the other way. Massive double standard.
