Clinton and Gingrich, Women and Men

Why is Bill Clinton viewed so harshly by men? He had an illicit relationship with a very junior subordinate and then committed perjury denying it. Men see this as a rare overlap between their political betters and them. No man in the United States in any kind of leadership position in any kind of organization would have survived that and most would have been incarcerated. That distinction--especially by the holier-than thou--rankles.

Gingrich has more personal and less legal vulnerability; whether or not he gets a similar neurological reaction from men remains to be seen.
