This Week Panel: Women Politicians Don’t Have Sex Scandals
Christiane Amanpour assembled a panel of women to discuss why it’s always the men that get entangled with sex scandals, and whether or not it could simply be explained by the fact that there are many more male politicians? Claire Shipman and Torie Clarke cited various research and anecdotal observations to argue that in fact women are much less likely to lose focus on the job, unlike their male counterparts.
Some researchers suggest the fact that women have less libido, less testosterone and less ego, all of that contributes to women leaders being able to avoid scandal. Clarke thinks that often “men will compete for the sake of competition” whereas women are just focused on getting something done. Yet whatever the underlying reason, until the first prominent women politician has a sex scandal, and as the male scandals keep piling up, it unfortunately seems that this difference between the sexes might just be an unexplainable fact of nature.
