Rep. Katie Hill delivers fiery farewell speech on the 'double standard' facing women in power
Hill said the fear of “what might come next and how much it will hurt” — not the allegations of an improper relationship with her male congressional staffer — is what prompted her resignation just 10 months into her first term.
“But I have more to say because this is bigger than me,” she added. “I’m leaving now because of a double standard. … I'm leaving because of a misogynistic culture that gleefully consumed my naked pictures, capitalized on my sexuality and enabled my abusive ex to continue that abuse.” “A large segment of society that fears and hates powerful women have combined to push a young woman out of power,” Hill said. “Yet a man who brags about his sexual predation, who has had dozens of women come forward to accuse him of sexual assault ... sits in the highest office of the land.”
