my guess is that the reality is somewhere between your assessment and rebecca's. that is, bill clinton is probably an asshole who exploited the culture, but it's true that the culture allowed for what we consider nowadays to be rape. i know plenty of men who still exploit sexist culture for their own gain. but to prevent the average guy from exploiting this, we need to change the culture. it doesn't mean that they're evil people, but they certainly aren't good either. the good ones see every human being as a feeling individual and try to avoid hurting them.

and i think it's clear that bill clinton has an ego problem - i'm sure he never considered the idea that somebody would not want him. obviously, that doesn't excuse anything he did, but if anyone were to be convinced by the multiple no excuse, it would be an egomaniac.
