The Bob Filmer in scandal has me wondering: I thought that women were attracted to powerful men. Having lived in DC I have observed women's slutability increase as the man's wastaa does.

Wastaa is arabic for power and pull...

Thus, I am confused why the mayor of SD had to resign for hitting on his staff....it's my impression that political staffers are very receptive to their powerful bossess's invitations..

When it comes to big cheese politicians, women have to have standards. Filner falls outside that standard by a large amount.

it's almost as if a simple rule of thumb can't possibly explain all people's reactions in sexually charged situations with a strong power dynamic

I think he pulled it off for a long time though.

I think Bob Filner and Anthony Weiner should team up as running mates in a bid for the White House in 2016. We would just have to watch them carefully around other heads of state who happen to be women (Merkel, Kirchner, etc...)

I think it just demonstrates that the OP doesn't know as much about women as he thinks he does. I work for a man who is much more powerful than the mayor of some mid-sized US city. I can assure you that that sort of crap would not be overlooked or tolerated in the workplaces I have been in.

It's the perfect combo. One is a self-described "hugger" and the other is hard as they come and won't pull out no matter how tough things get!
