Everytime a person has a relationship with a superior it is not rape or sexual assault. That is absurd. Some times it is 100% consensual for both parties.
So I need to know a lot more about what happened between Bill and Monica before I just make a blanket judgement based on what some other group is saying. Just because #Metoo and the Republicans say it was a sexual assault does not mean it was.
The issue is not that people think it was sexual assault; there is consensus that it wasn't. The issue is that it was an abuse of power. When someone is in a position of authority over another person then there is a power dynamic that exists there that makes sexual relations ill advised. This is why pretty much every professional ethics code in existence would say what happened was wrong.
