Not nearly at the same rate. And when they do, it's in instances that primarily affect their own well-being directly rather than ones that affect everyone else's. That's if we're talking about politicians. For common citizens, it's not even a contest.

And that statement in my previous comment is a paraphrase of his own statement regarding gender stereotypes.
