Agree to a point, given that it seems to happen a lot more often to females. But overall, putting the gender aside, this is how it usually works for influencers, public opinion makers… there is no much forgiveness when something is taken out of a broader context when a politician says , a journalist writes, a podcaster/radio chats. Change the standards to all (more forgiving or putting it the factual context seems better - which doesn’t sell), or the treatment applies to any person of influence.
