Abrams argues that the public's reaction to the relationship scandal involving Kennedy and Nuzzi reveals an underlying sexism, especially in the treatment of their respective roles.
Nuzzi, who was placed on leave after admitting to the relationship, highlights a disparity in consequences between her and Kennedy, who continues to campaign without scrutiny.
There is serious negligence in addressing ethical violations on both sides, but the male politician seems to escape serious questioning while the female reporter is penalized.
Abrams stresses that media and societal responses differ vastly based on gender, questioning the fairness in how the scandal is perceived and treated.
