570. Politicians And Morals
As mentioned before, there is a biologically caused asymmetry of many men harming women by excessive instinctive urges for sexual homeostasis and of many women not only getting harmed but participating in their own self-harming due to their instinctive urges for breeding. As a result, the co-evolved gullibility to religion has established a general desensitization to women's plight of being harmed. Women's bodies being used by men is not perceived as an outrage and a transgression, but as morally acceptable and as their innate doom.
But this attitude of accepting the desensitization has consequences far beyond merely harming individual women in private situations. When someone considers and accepts it as correct behavior and his entitlement to harm women by abuse, commodification, objectification, exploitation and taking advantage, this indicates, that he is a hazard to others, not only to women.
Not only are politicians elected to work for the benefits of their voters, who have entrusted their interests to them. Politicians are also paid a salary out of tax payer's money, which is so high, that many of the voters can only dream of such an income. The trust and the salary oblige politicians to balance their self-interest with the benefits owed to their voters.
But this is not reality. As can be easily derived from reading daily in the newspapers about the frequent scandals and misdemeanors of politicians, many of them seem to be more or less corrupt, drastically taking selfish advantages of their positions. Some are limited by what they can do legally, many get even away with criminal transgressions.
What a politician does to women is an excellent and valid indication of his attitude to his voters. If the voters were fully aware of this, they would base their political choice not only on the promises of a politician, but also on his moral integrity.
A man without hesitation nor inhibitions to cheat on his wife can be expected to also cheat on his voters. A man not hesitating in abusing a prostitute's body for his selfish instinctive urges can be expected to abuse the power of his position for his own greedy selfish interests. A man using his position as immunity to rape and harass women can be expected to be criminally corrupt.
The frequent scandals reported in the press and news indicate clearly, how many of the male politicians are not only commodifying and objectifying women as if this were their entitlement and privilege, but that their position also supplies them with more occasions to harm women than has the average jerk.

Unfortunately too many voters are themselves desensitized to abuse women and even the female voters are manipulated to overlook, that politicians forfeit their trustworthiness by abusing women. These voters tolerate the immorality, which harms women, and then they are disappointed and angry, when the corrupt politicians fail to do, what the voters expect.
But the impact of abusive politicians being reelected is even worse than their mere failing to fulfill their obligations. The fact of having been voted for by many people creates their reputation as role models worthy to be copied, no matter how morally rotten they are.
Every time, when a politician is reelected in spite of the public knowledge of his cheating and frequenting brothels, this emits a very wrong signal. It reinforces the fatal social norm of oversexation, promiscuity and harming women by objectification.
In an ideal world, politicians would only be elected, if they have sufficient moral integrity of not taking advantage of occasions to harm and exploit others, neither women nor voters.
