Power corrupts. Throughout time those at the
top assume they're exceptions to any/all rules.
Hence when the mighty fall there are usually
ample excuses why. Boys will be boys in that
the male species sexually takes advantage of
any situation when given the chance. Eagerly
grabbing any chance to hopefully rise to an
occasion. Therefore why are we surprised
when our leaders fail us by being too human?
When literally caught with their pants down

Creating an even more vicious cycle. Which
is why many victims of bad behavior keep
their mouths shut. Their silence insuring that
of given a chance - those in power will still
continue to take an unfair advantage. Until
they are outed, convicted, and shamed.
