Sexual abuse is based on power, not lust. Misogynists like Rudy feel powerful when they can make a woman dependent on them for everything and force them to have sex in a demeaning and subordinate way. If she had no self-respect it's because her abusive ex had taken away a lot of it already, and Rudy, sensing that, destroyed the rest of it and made her effectively his slave. And a women's shelter wouldn't have been the answer because they offer only temporary housing. Eventually it became psychologically impossible for her to walk away - in the end he fired her because after the events of 1/6 she told him she was afraid of him. (Complaint, p. 42) Attitudes like yours are one reason why it's so difficult for women to fight back against abusive men.
