Hypocritical double standard

Scott Brown, the Senator from Massachusetts who annoyed the Democratic Party by winning the late Ted Kennedy's Senate seat has been taking some heat for a two word response he made to a comment by one of his Democratic challengers, Ms. Warren.  See the story here:  http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/ticket/scott-brown-elizabeth-warren-spar-over-nude-photo-200932590.html

My take on it:  Warren was asked straight on how did she pay for her education - She chose to respond with a shot at Brown by saying she didn't take her clothes off.  She fired the first volley in that feud.  She could have chosen the high road and answered the question about herself - instead she chose the low road and took the shot at Brown.  Now she and some so-called women's groups are up in arms?  Shame on them.  If Warren  is such a delicate flower, perhaps she should either stay out of politics, or, better yet, not take cheap shots at others if she can't withstand them herself. 

Let's turn the tables and say that it was Warren who had posed nude in the '80s and Brown made the comment that he didn't take his clothes off in his response to a reporter's question.  Women would have been all over Brown for his comments like monkeys on a cupcake, and not in a good way.  And yet they would have been cheering Warren for the "Thank God" rebuttal.  Hypocritical double standard.

As a woman attorney I am ashamed of Warren and any so-called women's groups up in arms over this.  You want equality ladies, then accept it.  You can't have your cake and eat it too.  Warren took a cheap shot at Brown, and yet she and her supporters expected, rather demanded, that Brown be chivalrous in his response.  Grow up.  There was nothing wrong in Brown's response.  Warren made the initial choice to take the low road - she shouldn't be surprised when her opponent follows her down the road she herself chose and responds to her in a tone similar to her own.  She mocked him - he mocked her.  She started it and she needs to be an adult and take responsibility for her own actions and their repercussions and not cry like a child.
