BUTWHATABOUT????

I have had enough whataboutism. I'm chock fucking full of it. Every time another man in a powerful  position is accused of some sort of sexual impropriety, the what about machine kicks into high gear, with the inevitable conclusion of some conservative throwing Bill Clinton's name out. 

As of Bill Clinton getting a blowie from a White House intern, or banging a campaign staffer or any other of his supposed "victims", (all of whom had reached maturity), is comparable to Roy Moore trying to bang teen agers. It's a bull shit comparison, and it has to stop. In fact, all of these damned comparisons have to stop.

Sexual assault / harassment and all variations there of SHOULD be about the behavior itself and holding each individual accountable for their actions regardless of what anybody else has done. But like everything in else in politics these, we've made this a zero sum game in which a winner has to be declared. It took these women courage to come forward, regardless of time passed, and tell their stories. We shouldn't be discounting them by pointing at other instances and yelling BUTWHATABOUT.
