This is more complicated. We do not actually know whether Bill has molested women and she seemed to trust him on it.
As far as i know, on closer investigation, only consensual affairs could be proven and that's something between Hillary and Bill.
To the feminism: Clinton was comes from a time in which feminism meant something else than it does not.
And in that time, she was in fact reliably on the progressive side. I might at: At a time in which it was harder to be progressive than it is now.
That should not be forgotten.
Naturally, it is bullshit if people who think of third wave feminism deem her a feminist. She is not. You won't hear her talking about intersectional feminism and that poor nonwhite women should unite to fight oppression. But you will still rather see her adressing feminist issues than other people would (exspecially trump).
But ya, it is inherently problematic that a woman has to play the feminist card to get elected (like obama had to play the black man card).
It is exspected from her, and she would get blamed if she would not do it.
Clinton is basically the thing that third wave feminism wants to prevent: She is a woman who had to play by the men's rules in a male dominated field and succeeded in that by being tougher than them. And subsequently, she employed the same means as her adversaries did.
Feminism wants to take the need for such a thing away.
There is a certain divide between women who had to harden themselves to survive those environments and women who blame sexism on only few women succeeding in those fields.
