According to Jonathan Zimmerman of The Daily News, it's not so much what Toobin did that was wrong, it's your unease with the topic of masturbation.

Personally, my unease with the topic begins right around the time you hit that "Join Zoom Meeting" link and pretty much increases exponentially from there.

But hey, what can I say? I'm a prude you understand.

I'm also not a potential candidate for a sex offender registry.

Zimmerman writes,

"So let's suppose Jeffrey Toobin had been caught on camera having sex with a partner instead of touching himself. Would he be the most mocked man in the United States right now?"

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say yes, yes he would. But again, that would probably be my fault as well.

Zimmerman notes that there is of course the expected Schadenfreude of all this, the taking down of a celebrity by a peg or two.

"But why the resolute focus on this celebrity? The answer has to do with his particular transgression, of course. Toobin previously fathered a child with a mistress, which generated a few gossip columns but was quickly forgotten after that."

Ridicule me if you like, but I'm guessing that had he fathered a child with his mistress WHILE ON A ZOOM CALL WITH HIS COLLEAGUES, that would have gotten more than a few gossip columns.

Now, just in case you think Zimmerman is completely unhinged, he does concede that,

"You might say that he shouldn't have been pleasuring himself during a work call."

Finally, some common ground.
