Kind of like Chelsea Clinton, whose dad did much worse than sexting.

well said.

Only one previous sexual encounter. No pattern, no real relationship and no basis to think her drunken stupor meant consent to multiple men having intercourse with her. Parker calls it a “3-way”—sheesh.

Many great posts here and yours among the very best.

There are multiple messages for boys; most do the right thing. In 1996, none believed it was ok to rape unconscious women and invite in the dorm to partake. And then cite being a “man of faith” as Parker’s FB post did repeatedly.
