    Maybe not the best example.
    At that time this sleezebag (and others with power) got away with a lot of sexual misconduct.
    And in his case probably rapes.
    Minimising it as him being some naughthy schoolboy and making jokes about is not really something I miss.

      I don’t want to downplay sexual misconduct, but the issues we are facing right now are orders of magnitude higher.

      You will never find a perfect point it time where life is good for and harmonious everyone. The 90s had their problems, for sure, but the USA wasn’t tearing itself apart, or bringing in and welcoming in a new wave of fascism.
