In the media age everything you do and say can be publicized one way or another. Where is the line though between privacy and publicity of actions? the two have become one almost of blurred together so much that trying to draw a line between the two is nearly impossible unless it is an extreme situation. I do not have a facebook or myspace for this very reason. I may want to run for pulic office and do not want to have anything posted on the internet. Once it is on the net, it will be out there forever. I know you can not stop someone from taking a picture of you, but you can watch your actions in public places and try to be aware of others who may try to take private or inappropriate picture of you in order to ruin your name or reputation.
In the case of Krystal Ball, she did decide to dress up inappropriately and even though it was six years ago it will still have a negative effect on her chances to win the race. I do think men are attacked to though. To say that only women are attacked in sexual form may be a weak arguement. the recent NFL and past NBA incidence with professional atheletes have been also exploited. Certain people are out there to try and get with a professional athelete in a sexual way and then turn around and sue for sexual harassement. Perfect example is the Kobe Bryant case a few years ago. That girl certaintly wanted to "Hook Up" with him and then turned around and tried to sue him for money. That is why the case was settled and dismissed. She refused to testify against him under oath.
The moral to all of these stories is to always keep in mind that what you are saying and doing can and may end up being publicized later to try and hurt your reputation.
