Maybe you’ve seen the same movie as me. A president is trying to appoint a vice-president. With a few notable candidates jockeying for position, and a few vocal critics speculate on who will be chosen. He ultimately choses a woman senator, and the movie takes off from there. Some speculate that he is trying to leave a progressive legacy, others simply think she’s grossly under-qualified, not to mention lacking moral fiber. She had an affair with her campaign manager, and, in digging into her past, the press and her opponents discover that she allegedly took part in a group sex session at a college frat party. All she would offer as a defense is that she fell in love with her campaign manager and subsequenlty married him, and that even commenting on the allegations would legitimize the asking of those kinds of personal questions. She claimed that there was a double-standard; nobody cared what was in the sexual pasts of male politicians, why should hers matter.

That’s the movies. Then I read the story about Tie Domi’s divorce proceedings, where his ex-wife alleged that he had an affair with Belinda Stronach. The next day there is a news story that Belinda Stronach is accusing this country and its media of having a double-standard.

Quoting her in a canoe.ca article, she says “I’d really like to say in a country like Canada that there isn’t, but I do believe there is a double standard,” Stronach said on Tuesday. “And it’s unfortunate for other women in this country that want to seek political office and to make a contribution.”

Until I read these statements, I thought this issue was about Tie Domi, a man, and his moral misgivings. Does she really think that men are exempt from public scrutiny? If that were true, wouldn’t Clinton’s escapades been ignored? If the entire USA goes into an uproar because of the concealment of oral sex, aren’t we allowed to be concerned about an extended affair that helps to destroy a marriage?

Now I generally don’t care about the private lives of public people. I’ve seen enough to know that there is a lot of broken families in the general public. With all the sacrifices celebrities and politicians have to make to attain success in their field, I even expect there to be more brokeness in their own personal lives.

So why did this catch my eye? Partly because I was already not a big fan of Tie Domi, and partly because I’m not a big fan of people hiding questionable activity behind their right to have questionable activity kept secret.

As far as the double-standard goes, I am convinced that as long as people can benefit from complaining about a double standard, they will, whether that double standard exists or not.
