The room of the Rikers Dominique Strauss-Kahn of New York has nothing to do with that three-thousand dollars of the Sofitel. Why Rikers is a jail, the real ones, with reveille at 6, lunch and dinner at 5 to 11. Nothing hour meetings and "free" day. A hell as all hell behind bars. Or at least, how can I imagine myself, I feel suffocated at the thought of not being able to look up and see the sky, whenever they felt like it.
Probably, waking, Dominique will want to go back to sleep because the nightmare of that room will be worse than those done with eyes closed. However, a few nights ago, another room, spacious and luxurious in the heart of New York of Bright Lights, it would become, as his accusers say, the nightmare for a woman of 32 years, African, and Muslim maid.
A woman in the American press, and a sense of security, do not give details (but already revealed by the French press) or describes in his physical appearance. Who has big tits, nice ass, and that is not at all find it attractive (as noted Laila Lalama in its editorial for the Daily Beast) once again by French newspapers.
According to his complaint, and the first evidence that would give reason, the woman was forced to anal and oral intercourse, by the same Dominique, rich and powerful man, can the next French president. What has been unleashed around the story is a true cultural controversy, with the French on the one hand, ready to attack the U.S.
judicial system, and the press who "dared" to show pictures of DSK with buff face, long beard and handcuffs and, some say (American and otherwise) that the law is equal for all and so is the treatment of those who seems to have broken in a disgusting way. The Americans also respond to charges related to failure to release on bail, with one name: Roman Polanski.
Now, as an Italian, for some reason I feel like giving reason to those who are convinced that in France (and Italy, I might add) a thing would have been silenced now and if the DSK is escaped with a fright. Maybe. Or maybe not even that. Let's be honest, how many of us, instead of African hotel maid, would have felt to make a complaint of rape to commit it if he were a man so famous and so powerful? How many women know (and also men) who suffer sexual harassment at work and did not complain out of fear and the certainty that nothing would change? If Dominique Strauss-Kahn is innocent, his lawyers (who have already twice changed the version of events) will help him to prove it and apologize to the world's (and the French will elect the emperor, as a minimum).
If he is guilty, however, as everything seems to show so far, the women, at least on this side of the ocean will feel better to know that certain things are not tolerated or tolerable, even, indeed especially, if the perpetrator is a man whose power sent him a short circuit, starting from below the waist (not wearing), all the rest.
