Since the Anthony Weiner story broke, I’ve been reading stories about other sex scandals among politicians and how they’ve survived. I was thinking how interesting it is that not one of the examples mentioned involved a woman politician. Why is it that you only hear about men and their indiscretions and not women on Capitol Hill? Maybe it’s because of this reason given by Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand of New York: “While I’m at home changing diapers, I just couldn’t conceive of it.”
According to this New York Times article, it has something to do with why women go into politics.
What do you think?
