<p>A female author at the New York Beta Times <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120114181043/http://www.nytimes.com/2011/06/12/weekinreview/12women.html?_r=1&hp" target="_blank">asks why women politicians</a> don’t get caught in humiliating sex scandals.</p>
|
||
<p>Naturally, the author offers the PC feminism-approved answer to explain the discrepancy in peccadillos.</p>
|
||
<blockquote><p>But there may be something else at work: Research points to a substantial gender gap in the way women and men approach running for office. Women have different reasons for running, are more reluctant to do so and, because there are so few of them in politics, are acutely aware of the scrutiny they draw — all of which seems to lead to differences in the way they handle their jobs once elected.</p><p>“The shorthand of it is that women run for office to do something, and men run for office to be somebody,” said Debbie Walsh, director of the Center for American Women and Politics at Rutgers University. “Women run because there is some public issue that they care about, some change they want to make, some issue that is a priority for them, and men tend to run for office because they see this as a career path.”</p></blockquote>

<p>Riiiiight. That’s the ticket. The pleasingly martyr-like “women can’t afford to mess up” rationale. Well, I’m here to tell you that’s not the reason why female politicians don’t get caught in sex scandals. The answer is much less convoluted, and less politically palatable as well. Female politicians are OLD and unattractive; they don’t have salacious affairs because men aren’t interested, especially the powerful men whom these hypergamously-straitjacketed women lust after. For an old broad like Pelosi, or an ugly one like Hillary, to have a sexy fling would require a willing participant. Now maybe with a lot of elbow grease and an ego that can handle rejection, the typical congresswoman could scrounge up the rare man who would carry on with her over text, but the time and energy to find such a man would be exhausting for even a manic Type A personality.</p>
|
||
<p>In contrast, male politicians, including the old ugly ones, by virtue of their high status and power, have no trouble meeting women. Usually, the women reach out to them and make their jobs easy. Weiner seems to have had his share of young, female groupies.</p>
|
||
<p>Oh yeah, and one more bleedingly obvious answer for why there aren’t more female politicians caught in sex scandals:</p>
|
||
<p>Men are biologically programmed to spread the seed. Men dig variety. No matter how old they get. The limiting factor isn’t age, it’s options.</p>
|
||
<p>So the next time you swoon over some old guy who has stayed faithful to one woman for forty years, just remember...</p>
|
||
<p>he likely didn’t have the power of a politician to act on his urges.</p>
