The author is right that women should not be afraid of running for office. But it is simply inaccurate to argue as if 1) Katie Hill resigned exclusively because of nude photos and as if 2) many men have not also resigned from Congress after being caught sending risque photos, sexting, or having a relationship with a staffer.

Hill was not being investigated by the House for nude photos. It was because she had a relationship with a campaign staffer and was accused of having a relationship with one of her Congressional staffers. The revenge porn element of the scandal was disgusting and wrong. But let’s stop pretending there wasn’t more to the story.
