Question: Is Ginger White a Victim?

White is coming out with a tell-all book about her affair for over a decade with then-presidential hopeful Herman Cain, an Atlanta resident. Why now? Do you think she is seeking publicity?

Former Dunwoody resident Ginger White is announcing she will write a book about her affair with Herman Cain, a revelation that effectively ended his bid for the GOP nomination in early 2012.

White, the fifth woman to come forward about alleged sexual indiscretions with Cain, was considered a "nail in the coffin" related to similar questions about Cain.

Question: Are there sexual politics in play when a politician can have affairs and go on to succesful professional lives? Is it fair that women, especially in a high-profile case - can become outcasts? In short, is this kind of discrimination still in our society? Does it reveal our biases? In what way?
