Power... was fascinating.
Ms. Tracy stood by the window with a glass of red wine in hand, gazing at the beautiful view outside. Her mind was filled with the image of Hicks voluntarily withdrawing from the election.
She knew better than anyone how terrifying her opponent was. Yet this opponent who had once crushed her so completely that she could barely breathe, this opponent who had driven her to despair, had just... withdrawn!
The moment she received the definite news, she began to tremble with excitement.
It was a very strange feeling. She knew it was an orgasm. Although she had rarely experienced anything like that over the years and did not have a boyfriend, she was not some ignorant little girl.
For a male politician, having a stable family could improve his political image—and by quite a lot.
But for a woman, if she wanted to go further in politics, she could not have a stable family.
It seemed contradictory, but in reality, it was not contradictory at all. It was simply realistic.
The reason people used families to restrain male politicians was that men were naturally superior in ambition and ability. To keep them from going "off the rails," there had to be solid rules governing their conduct.
Women were different. Their gender alone attracted many kinds of attention that male politicians did not receive.
Whenever they got even slightly close to certain people, all sorts of rumors were bound to arise. That could not be prevented.
A family would become a burden for a female politician. Other male politicians would also try to avoid having too much contact with female politicians who had families. They did not want to hear any rumors circulating in society that involved them.
Think about it. Policy decisions always happened after work.
