History of Feminism

Not just assaulting women, but many other subjects as well. Its OK for certain politicians or commentators to say ANYTHING about the right wing because, well, he/she is one of OURS, and the right really IS a bad bunch, etc. Not just DU, but many groups. Bill Clinton had several claims of improper behavior against women, yet for the most part women's groups stayed silent because he was one of "theirs". Michael Vick gets out of jail and gets a big contract. And he didnt "make a mistake", he ran a terrible criminal enterprise for years. Its a long list of pro athletes who have gotten the "pass" you mention.
Woody Allen? I've never understood why everyone fawns over this guy. Look at how many defend Roman Polanski.
I've always tried to look at anything by a politician that may be a "gray area" and ask myself, what would I be saying if Bush, et al, did this? Because if it bothers me when THEY do it, it should bother me when MY guy does it too.
