Leave it to Gloria Steinem to raise the million-dollar question out of all the media gold that has been spun out of Anthony Weiner’s latest sexting scandal:
“I mean, just imagine if there were a woman who had photographed her pubic area and sent it out on the phone,” Steinem recently told The Cut. “Would she be a candidate?”
If we may, let us dwell on this for a moment and imagine just how the world would react to an explicit photo of Christine Quinn’s ladybits surfacing on the Internet. Or raunchy texts between Hillary Clinton and a male admirer about porntastic sex acts.
I’d venture that a good number of you can’t even think about a Quinn crotch shot without cringing. But let’s pretend that an image of her nethers had recently leaked in the media. Even if the speaker of the City Council was a more appealing mayoral candidate who happened to look like a supermodel—or, say, Huma Abedin—her qualifications would be instantly and indelibly overshadowed by the exposure of her hoo-ha. New York City may be ready to embrace an openly gay woman as mayor, but an openly gay female candidate whose lewd selfies were floating around cyberspace? Likely not.
