New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd says that the momentum behind the women’s movement took a hit during President Bill Clinton’s scandal-plagued years in the White House.
“Feminism sort of died in that period,” Dowd told Yahoo News Global Anchor Katie Couric on Monday. “Because the feminists had to come along with Bill Clinton’s retrogressive behavior with women in order to protect the progressive policies for women that Bill Clinton had as president.”
The women in Clinton’s administration, Dowd said, were forced to support him while he denied allegations of sexual misconduct against the likes of Monica Lewinsky and Gennifer Flowers. He would later admit some of the allegations.
“Bill Clinton had [Secretary of State] Madeleine Albright and [Secretary of Health and Human Services] Donna Shalala come out and say he was telling the truth on Monica,” Dowd said. “And so all of these amazing, accomplished women that worked around him were kind of called to support him, and it’s almost a class issue, because they would put these women down on class or, in Monica’s case, they would say she’s a delusional stalker.”

As Rush has always said, groups like NOW are hard core leftist idealogues first and foremost. They exist to promote the progressive liberal agenda. Feminist “leaders” valued nothing more dearly than to remain safely ensconced within the Democrat power structure. So, as between Bill Clinton and all of the women he sexually victimized, they picked Old Bill every day of the week and twice on Sunday. Died ‘a little bit’? This is more like “sixth sense” territory. Feminism died a grisly death at Clinton’s hands but has apparently been strolling the earth ever since, ignorant of its demise.
Her rabid hatred of the Clintons makes me smile.
