I wonder if the higher incidence of incest in fundamentalist families is not just another manifestation of the mandate to dominate women basic to the patriarchal religions. Rape is just a way to keep the women feeling worthless and powerless to escape the domination.

You have to be a really fearful and weak man to do this to anyone. Pitiful behavior.

Curious how this thread seems to also attract so many folks with other "issues"... pornography as "sin", liberals as "sinners", bible-thumpers, quasi-feminists, "male-feminists", etc.

Seems kinda like a Rorschach inkblot test, where we see whatever we want to see in it, re: our attitudes towards sexuality.

I do not care what consenting adults do with or to each other. Anything involving coercion or children is another matter. Those things are off limits.

Red State Blue State, it doesn't matter. This is based on individuality.

To say "it doesn't matter" is to dismiss this issue too easily. Red states are full of evango-fascist whack jobs who want to shove their doctrine down the throats of all of us. They elect clowns to office who try to do just that. It matters very much that we keep religion OUT of our government and politics. The recent study shines yet another beam of light on the hypocrisy of the far right. Good.
