The Other French Sexual Double-Standard

"Many in the French and European elite have expressed surprising sympathy for IMF president Dominique Strauss-Kahn, now under arrest for attempted rape.

They were not nearly so forgiving toward Paul Wolfowitz, when he got into trouble in 2007 a block away at the World Bank.

Wolfowitz was accused of arranging a tax-free pay rise for a companion who worked alongside him at the Bank. Strauss-Kahn is accused of at least two rapes, and acknowledges an affair with a subordinate, whose contract was later bought out."
