10. Because the Republican vision is that men have rights and power over women

And whites have rights and power over black people, etc.

The media then covers these scenarios very differently because they don't really care about women or morality, they care about the damage such things to do political careers. For republicans, it's consistent with their anti-women policies, so it's not particularly damaging to their careers. Hence the media downplays it.

And so we end up with Donnie as president for 4 years, and kavanaugh on the Supreme Court for life....
