This woman is being used. Those who show compassion are merely using her or are aligning to the false virtue of understanding and compassion. If this story was led by a male the listening would be different. Sexism in this case is driven by female false compassion.

Who are you to tell me what my limits are? (Reminds me of that bumper sticker that commands us to "Question Authority." What gives the author the authority to tell me to question authority? I question his authority to tell me to question authority!) If there is no objective right and wrong and I want to do something, and I'm stronger, why can't I do it to you, whether you consent or not? This business of "anything goes if you agree to it" is only one notch from "anything goes" whether you agree or not. Since when did “consensual” become a standard?

If love is all that matters then she would be able to marry her brother without in consequences. Of course I disagree with this completely, the lack of guilt amazes me. It is called a seared conscience. How do you determine the emotional harm done through having sex with your brother. Is physical harm all that matters. Guilt is good when it shows that what you are doing is wrong. Why not sex with father and daughter, mother and son.

Read a bit about the conditions for your average working class family in the 19th century and think again about the notion that society is getting sicker. How about we then discuss lynchings, unprosecuted rapes, the inability for women to own property, women being beaten senseless by husbands and sons and the authorities doing nothing. We live in a fabulous, peaceful, healthy period unique in human history. It has problems, but ultimately I wouldn't trade it for the fantasy of a less sicker time. (Okay, I'd gladly go back in time to live in Southern California or Hawaii in 1965.) “And right now, society is getting sicker because the people who make up society are getting sicker.”

As a Brit, sometimes I feel the exact same way, but those comments are certainly NOT the views of the majority over here. They maybe the views of city-liberals/students/communists sipping their ultra-organic fair trade mochafrappacrappacinos in Costalot Coffee while reading the Guardian (or in this case, the Times), sniffing their own farts and discussing their new Honda Prius Hybrid cars, but most people I know in this country are a lot more sensible than those cretins! PS: Like the new site - some really great stuff here! “I’m figuring, Britain isn’t luging down the shitter, it’s already there.”

There may be one tiny, itsy,bitsy drawback. G*d may actually exist. If He exists, then she'll wind up in front of Him, explaining why she led and encouraged others to sin, and sinned herself. In front of the most powerful Being in the Universe. I understand He is less than happy with people who slap His Son's Work in the face. Even less so with the arrogant. Oh, and no lawyers,bond,appeals,or new trials. Or plea bargains. Just the facts. It’s really no problem if she wants to have sex with her brother, and if her fellow dhimmis in England cheer her on.
