Sure as shooting, someone is going to point out that these women signed up for and stayed with this cult.

Let me point out again the starvation and sleep deprivation torture. 500 calories a day is not enough to maintain rational thought. No where near it.

Starvation and sleep deprivation leave you in a state of confusion and unable to think things through. It makes you compliant.

Look up the famous Harvard starvation study. Those test subjects were otherwise healthy, normal, rational, functioning MEN.

Women are not mentally weak, naturally docile, or unable to take care of themselves without a man (or an Allison Mack) telling them what to do.

This is what starvation and sleep deprivation does. It primes you for conditioning.

That's why you see sleep deprivation, starvation, and let's add drugs/alcohol to that so often in cults, sex trafficking rings, and narcissistic abuse. It's a dark triad of victimology.
