When Matt Lauer was finally fired from the \u201cToday\u201d show \u2014 his sexual predation an open secret for years \u2014 NBC promoted Hoda Kotb to co-anchor with Savannah Guthrie. They became the first female co-anchors in \u201cToday\u201d show history.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Progress? Sure, to a point. It was also a cynical, cosmetic overture by NBC brass, who were simultaneously trying to explain why they killed an expos\u00e9 of Harvey Weinstein later published in The New Yorker.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>It felt like tokenism, NBC getting these two likable women on the <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.today.com\/news\/savannah-guthrie-hoda-kotb-reveal-moment-prayer-breaking-matt-lauer-t120703\">cover of People magazine<\/a>, touting the \u201cToday\u201d show as still one big h<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>y family, NBC\u2019s male-dominated brass hiding behind their skirts, having them be emotional \u2014 \u201cOur Hearts Were Broken\u201d read the headline \u2014 rather than tough, smart, pragmatic and yes, outraged.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>You know, things powerful men are allowed to be but women still are not.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>At the height of #MeToo, half of the 201 men taken down were replaced by women, <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/interactive\/2018\/10\/23\/us\/metoo-replacements.html\">according to The New York Times<\/a>.

Are women still only rising to power positions as mea culpas? Why are women, as a talent pool, still so often relegated to Number Two status when so many powerful men are revealed to be mediocrities, incompetents, abusers or corrupt?\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Kathy Hochul seems like she will be a good governor, maybe even a great one. Her elegance this week comes hard-earned: Appointed Erie County Clerk in 2007 by then-Gov. Eliot Spitzer, later known as Client No. 9, she rose to Congress in 2011 after her male predecessor, Rep. Chris Lee, was caught up in a sex scandal.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>She lost that seat in her next election to Chris Collins, who is now serving two years in federal prison for fraud.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/08\/james-shneiderman.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1024\" alt=\"Attorney General Letitia James (left), who helped to bring down Cuomo, rose to power after Eric Schneiderman (right) was credibly accused of abusing women.\" class=\"wp-image-19125623\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/08\/james-shneiderman.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1535 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/08\/james-shneiderman.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/08\/james-shneiderman.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Attorney <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/general\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"3\" title=\"General\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">General<\/a> Letitia James (left), who helped to bring down Cuomo, rose to power after Eric Schneiderman (right) was credibly accused of abusing women.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">LightRocket via Getty Images<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>This is what it took for us to get our first female governor \u2014 smart, capable, well-liked, scandal-free. Her first term will always be tagged with an asterisk \u2014 not duly elected. She had to spend her first presser last week distancing herself from Cuomo. What should have been a victory lap was sullied by his shadow.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Yet as Cuomo recedes from public life (unless he faces criminal charges for the nursing home scandal and his sexual harassment charges, as he should), hopefully Hochul breaks this particular glass ceiling for good. She has already said she will seek election to a full term as governor. She will likely face off against state Attorney General Letitia James, who rose to power after Eric Schneiderman was credibly <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.businessinsider.com\/eric-schneiderman-abuse-allegation-details-2018-5\">accused of abusing women<\/a> and who, in a feat of poetic symmetry, brought Cuomo down.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Now that would be a fight to see.\u00a0\n                        <\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
