Excerpt:

The absurdity of a president mired in a comic sex opera makes some women more aware than ever of what they disliked about him long before Lewinsky. Author Barbara Ehrenreich, who teaches at UC Berkeley, said she now feels "pain at Clinton's hypocrisy" in that "he has presented himself as a family values president: and then he signs a welfare reform bill that contains the insulting provision that there should be money for abstinence training for welfare mothers, as if that were their problem. I can't forgive that."

Ehrenreich, like so many others, said she has trouble dismissing the Clinton-Lewinsky relationship as something for the first family alone to sort out. "If it is private, to be very concrete about it, he might have shut the door." Besides, she said, "one of my reactions is not in the wife part of my brain but from the mother part of my brain."
