...unless it is a Leftist doing it.
So Chelsea Clinton thinks something involving perjury and sexual harassment is “none of your business”. While I can understand her discomfort and her desire to defend and promote her mother, this is yet another illustration that Leftists think the rules don’t apply to them, only other people.
Forget the perjury aspect. Either the government (= the American people) should be involved in regulating employer-employee interactions and fighting “sexual harassment”, or it shouldn’t. Ah, but when the feminists and Leftists pushed to make sexual harassment a serious issue requiring government involvement, it was only supposed to be used against certain people, like, oh, a judicially restrained SCOTUS nominee. It was never supposed to be used against a Leftist, pro-abortion President. Why can’t we vast right-wing conspiracists accept that? Why must we take feminist causes seriously when we’re not supposed to? Shame on us.
Let’s get it through our skulls: Sexual harassment policies are there to keep regular men from showing or expressing interest in the female form, especially if those men are not in a position of power, nor wealthy. They aren’t meant to keep lecherous philandering Leftists from getting their jollies. The sooner we accept that, the sooner we can get along and “reach across the aisle”.
Perhaps someone should ask Miss Clinton if sexual harassment and perjury are public or private issues? Or if bosses should be able to receive sexual favors from an intern? Please... somebody try this.
