ABSTRACT
I believe that a great deal of President William J. Clinton’s be havior throughout “Monica-gate” and the general public’s reaction can be understood in the context of pervasive relativistic thinking, and for a substantial segment, feminist identity politics (FIP). Here I discuss, from the point of view of a libertarian realist, four aspects of the matter: the public implications of the president’s sexual be havior, his reactions to various charges regarding this behavior, the arguments of his defenders and, in particular, ideological feminist defenses.
