With the recent arrest of the head of the IMF over the sexual assault of a chambermaid in New York. It is interesting to see whether promiscuous activity by men in power is enough to warrant them incapable of performing their job. It is quite unsettling for me that the person in charge of giving out aid to other countries is an alleged violent rapist. Even if he is not convicted of this crime he has a history of infidelity. Does this mean he does not do his job well? People may believe that his corrupt moral character crept into his decisions for providing aid to developing countries. Arguments circulating that the IMF loans are a means of viciously accruing more debt may start to become more feasible.
Dominique Strauss-Khan is not the first man of power to be associated with sexually immoral activity. Civil rights activist Martin Luther King allegedly had an affair, this was revealed in a book by Dr Michael Eric Dyson titled 'I May Not Get There With You: The True Martin Luther King Junior.'Bob Marley was also believed to have many affairs. Is this enough to over-shadow their positive actions to create unity? Hmmm makes you think......
