I mean, Kane gets a motivational verbal kick in the ass from literally every woman in JF telling him that Kane will only have a better future if he shows character, is not a spineless worm, is a confident strong and determined man...This is said by almost all the sisters, this is said by the staff...And this motivation haunts us as we move from rank to rank (up to K9).And Tess herself has written many times that she loves strong and self-confident men, and that's why in all these motivational speeches that fall on Kane, I see, among other things, the desire of Tess herself to convey between the lines a simple (and, perhaps, for some, "unfashionable") idea that women love confident men, on whose strong shoulder they can lean.
Remember all those sadistic bitches, how they melted in Kane's arms and how all their pomp and superiority disappeared when they realized that they don't have to pretend anymore and they can just be themselves, be a simple woman next to a strong man... So I agree with
Maviarab that sub path is an artificial construct, a kind of fan service, but the true victory will be possible only when Kane gets to the top of the power pyramid as an independent player (Dom), and not as someone's slave, who will then be sold at auction or who will remain someone's personal pet/toilet.
