Being a Male Politician

Right now every male politician is out there thinking carefully about what they did for the last twenty of thirty years.  They are trying to think about every interaction that they had with every woman and girl.  The noses that aren't doing that think that what ever they did, they did nothing wrong, which either means that they were acting like every woman they interacted with was their closest female blood relation or what ever they did was okay.  So that means that there are three types of male politician out there.  One type treated every woman well, one treated women like objects and conquests because that was their place and the last set, thinks of them as regular people, but is worried because they too are regular people and people waver between ideals constantly in their lives, did they in fact treat women poorly and did some woman out there think that he treated them poorly.  Worse did he treat a woman not exactly poorly, but the woman was overly sensitive for various reasons like prior poor treatment.  

The problem is, how do you know which one they are?  Conservatives are all family values and family values are so against assaulting people, theoretically.  In practice so many times family values has been about keeping the family behind closed doors and male privilege.  So which are they, the family man who is good or the family man who is bad?

Liberal values, pro-choice and feminism are another grouping.  They are all about valuing women, but they are also not free from scandal.  Freely. Ovine between women and sexual improprieties.  Many won't remember, but John Turner owns said to often pat women on the bum at campaign gatherings.  So we see that there are issues in male politicians period.  We wonder about the politicians of the past, if they were here, what would they have been doing and standing trial. 

I ask you, are you male?  Would you stand up as a politician, if every interaction that you had with women, we're to come to light?   I don't think I would, and I can plead autistic misunderstanding and lonely desperation at the same time I never attacked a woman, but did I make a woman feel uncomfortable to be near me? Yes.  Did I make women feel unsafe near me? I don't know.  Would I be a good politician in today's light?  I don't know.  Would I strive to do the most good and improve the world for future generations, yes I would.  But you see at is the problem, in today's life would I be a bad politician or a good one.  Does a case of bad sex from twenty years ago make me a bad person?
