In Response to Nikki Freeman's: Woman Objectification and copmarison confusion

There is still a good portion of the world that the sexes are treated very differently.  The Western world (overall) has come to the conclusion that society is better off with the sexes being treated as equally as they can be.  Though, this is not the case in every way, for example Women cannot be drafted, but do not always receive equal pay for equal work that men perform.  In the Middle East, especially in countries that are ruled by theocracies, women are deprived of most of the basic rights women in the West take for granted.  It is still accepted if a women is rapped it is her fault and her own family may perform an honor killing.  Mustafa's women definitely were insecure with themselves, which is the trait that he looked for as they are easy prey for him.  As for the women being sluts, in my experience people who are promiscuous (men and women) tend to be very unsure of themselves and are looking for some sort of acceptance.  As sex is the most intimate activity a couple can have this tends to bring some amount of acceptance/security to the individual for a certain amount of time.  With Mustafa leaving these women would lose that and may fear they would never be able to experience that again or they may have contracted a std and gone insane (syphilis is a possibility).
