Female thugs serve many purposes

---

A lot of women are getting into crime, even serious ones, like carrying our killing missions. They say there are three reasons why thugs recruit women. The first is to hoodwink the law enforcers. They are not in the least hoodwinked as they know most of the criminals and their 'sisters'. But they cannot do their job because of the political influence these thugs exercise. There seems to be a symbiotic relationship between thugs and many politicians. These women thugs are even called 'lady cadres' -- I suppose to give them some kind of prestige.
The second reason is to trap opponents and the third reason to establish carnal relationship with their bosses, the politician protectors and rogue cops looking for fun and profit.
They say extremists and criminals alike use these women as both these groups are technically on the wrong side of the law. But as mentioned, even many law enforcers succumb to the lure of the get-rich world of criminality and often act as protectors of these criminals, male or female. The advantage of women in the 'thug industry' is that they have more mobility -- they can carry drugs or firearms without coming under any suspicion. It is only now that women thugs have come into the limelight. If the cops interrogate them thoroughly they can get the identities of others like them. There must be many who are unknown and carry out their business normally. I hope the law enforcers are really taking this matter seriously and can nab as many of these women thugs as they can just as they do with their male counterparts.
