This is a good question...

Why do women’s groups treat Bill Clinton and Donald Trump differently?
At least three women – Juanita Broaddrick, Paula Jones and Kathleen Willey – accused Clinton of unwanted sexual advances. Another five, including White House intern Monica Lewinsky, said they had had consensual affairs with him. Clinton was impeached on charges of lying about the Lewinsky affair before a grand jury and of obstruction of justice, but was acquitted and served his full presidential term.

Women’s groups largely stayed supportive.

“Feminists have, all along, muffled, disguised, excused and denied the worst aspects of the president’s behavior with women,” said a lengthy Vanity Fair article from 1998.

“Feminism sort of died in that period,” New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd told Yahoo recently. “Because the feminists had to come along with Bill Clinton’s retrogressive behavior with women in order to protect the progressive policies for women that Bill Clinton had as president.”

Why is it ok for people to call Juanita Broaddrick, Paula Jones and Kathleen Willey "tramps?"

It’s called “selective outrage” and is common among human beings. When coupled with selective denial becomes a very effective coping mechanism.

I'm a woman and I detest Bill Clinton to the very core of my being. He's no better than Trump in my book. No selective consideration here.
