If truly, Mr. Strauss-Kahn’s extramarital affairs have long been considered an open secret, then justice should not be far fetched; otherwise it will amount to a delay. It’s amusing that the dust of Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi of Italy sexual assault is yet to settle before this obloquy from a continental brother.
However, the wisest choice for everyone at this point is to allow justice to prevail. As President Sarkozy rightly put it…the presumption of innocence must be maintained and the courts must be allowed to do their work. Unfortunately, if it turns out to be a true case of rape, then Mr. Strauss-Kahn should be ready for worst castigation from his political opponents and countrymen.
It is better we presume it all politics and not rape. Otherwise, we should begin to cover our faces because if it turns out a case of seduction, then parents who close their eyes to the crazy nude appearance of their daughters in the name of freedom are guilty of the same offense – of neglect. Far from generalization, quite a handful of public figures have been guilty of the same predatory behavior towards women and aggressive sexual pursuit of them, from street girls to female journalists as well as their aids in work places, which this ingenuous man is being accused of.
On one hand, this ugly development calls for caution and self-control on the part of roue, especially, those who hold public trust. On another hand, married women are by this challenged to do more of their marital responsibilities rather leaving their husbands vulnerable to shameless and primitive ladies who think they are in vogue with seductive Adamic clothing.
