I agree with her that women have always been viewed different than man in the work place, society, and polities. It is something that is slowly getting better as time change.I disagree on her comparing herself to Hillary Clinton. What happened to Hillary was not by choice, she did not choose to have her husband cheat and for it to go public. Where as Krystal Ball chose to go to that college party or post college party. She chose to take those pictures. Everyone tells you that do not do anything you would be embarrass about or that could come back and haunt you. I can remember from when I was younger that my parents told me not to post anything on the net or social networks that might get me in trouble, or that could ruin my reputation. Plus now a days people know that a lot of jobs will try and look at your facebook or other social network to see the real you.

I feel that when you are trying to run for office or anything that would put you in the public eye that you take the risk of having people look into your past and trying to dig up dirty on you. Just look at all the miss teen usa or pageant queens that lose their titles because of things they do. In 2008 Miss Teen USA from Louisiana lost her crown due to the fact of dining and dash and later the cops found drugs on her. The fact that she holds a place in society that the public views of course anything that happens to her is going to be aired.

I do believe that if you are in the public eye and do something wrong or someone tries to play dirty and release pictures of your past that you should confront it head on. Nothing good could come from running from the problems. If you confront it head on and tell everyone "Hey I am only human, we all make mistakes. We all like to have in college. But I understand it does not make me look good, but that was back than and this is me now." Also I feel it takes a bigger and stronger person to confront your problems especially in the public eye than to run from your problems.

With more and more women getting bigger jobs, I think that if more females run for office or jobs that when racy photos are released it might not be as big of a deal.
