The story about Dominique Strauss- Kahn keeps getting creepier and creepier:

So - what was humiliating? That he wouldn’t pay her? Not that she regularly used her access to hotel guests in order to exchange sex for money?

There’s a scene in “The Moon Is A Harsh Mistress”, where the narrator explains that the last time they got a rape case in his lunar city, a bunch of guys responded to to the woman’s screams, and pushed the perp out an airlock. It later turned out she had been screaming because he refused to pay her, but that made no difference to the lynch mob—women are rare and valuable on the Moon.
