Are women their own worst enemies?

We can only speculate what actually happened when a female accomplice did not do anything when her male partner allegedly sexually assaulted a property agent. The rape case happened at a condominium unit in Mont Kiara last week.

I would like to think that the accomplice was threatened by the rapist since I just cannot imagine a woman keeping quiet while another is being sexually abused. That might not excuse her inaction but we never know ourselves when we are caught in the same situation. Choices has to be made and the woman chose to keep quiet. We have to wait until the authorities catch the culprits to find out the true story.

This incident reminds me of previous news items on the ordeal of daughters being raped by their own fathers with the mothers' knowledge. In those cases, the mothers did acknowledge that they were also subjected to the abusive husband and father. We still live in a society that demands complete obedience from the women towards the men in the family. This attitude is ingrained from childhood with clear examples from other women who still return to their husbands or lovers despite the repeated psychological, emotional and physical abuses they receive.

Power over someone else and in these cases women seem an aphrodisiac to some men. Some of them get into a state of ecstasy when they are more abusive and heightened by more pain inflicted on the women. They get pleasure in seeing the women in pain. In other words they are sick and need lots of help.

I hope the man who raped the property agent will get caught soon as the CCTV images that captured his face is clear. Then we can hear his side of the story.
