 Pourquoi ce genre de scandales arrive si rarement avec les politiciennes.

“ The link between power and sex for women, on the other hand, has been to withhold it, not to force it. (…) So if anything, the power/sex link for women, if there is one, is a deterrent, not a catalyst. But most women in positions of power are also still far more concerned with being taken seriously than being seen as sexually attractive individuals. For men, the two go together. For women, the equation still involves opposite pulls–especially for women old enough to be in positions of political power.  (…)

Most women intuitively understand this dynamic, which is part of the reason why some of these politicians’ behaviors make us so uncomfortable. (…)

Because the abuse of that power is something that almost every woman, at one point or another, has had to deal with in the world. And we know just how awful, unjust and destructive a force it can be.”
