Public men and the need for more women in leadership
Leonard Pitts Jr. argues that a long line of male political sex scandals reveals poor judgment. He questions whether such behavior undermines policy leadership and suggests increasing female representation as a persuasive remedy. He notes studies show infidelity occurs among women too but public discourse centers on men. He also mentions Clinton Kilpatrick Weiner and others as examples.
