I think sometimes women are not driven by the same, albeit, testosterone power thing that pushes men to get into politics.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I don't have a steady relationship. That's something that women in politics deal with. For some reason, men in politics seem to have a larger charisma, and women drop around their feet. I haven't noticed that so much for me.
Women are tough campaigners. They certainly know how to withstand attacks. And I think we make a mistake if we say, as some do, that women should play by different rules, or that they are somehow especially vulnerable to the rules of politics. I don't think that's true.
Politics is a very male-dominated, male-driven profession. I was not just a woman but a young woman, and I suppose you end up trying to behave in a way that you think is expected of you.
For some reason, men in politics seem to have a bunch of charisma, and women drop around their feet. I haven't noticed that so much for me and men.
Growing up in politics I know that women decide all elections because we do all the work.
I don't think that a woman in politics exists or thrives on her own.
A lot of men in politics suddenly woke up to the issue of women in politics when they realised: hey, there are votes in this!
You can hardly judge women's effect on politics merely from the action of individual women officeholders.
Women have more to prove than men when it comes to politics.
Politics is a potent way to empower women.
