Sometimes people believe that with power comes joy and ease, but it is not alway true. The character speaks of the power of her sexuality and when you think of her power you would assume it is a positive thing. However, she points out the conflicting aspects of her power. I chose a picture of President Barack Obama because he represents a power that people believe to be amazing, but people don't see the issues that come along with it. Now, after being elected, he is constantly being judged on his actions (or what he doesn't act on). People don't think that he is living up to his expectations of running for a position such as president. Before, people thought he was an amazing person but things changed very quickly after being elected. This proves that there are many issues when one withholds a power.
