My step dad raised me from the age of 3 and I knew him as Dad and he was my hero. When I was 14 till I was 17 I was abused all three ways you can be abused. When I finally spoke up he managed to run away to another state, leaving my sisters and I alone since my mom was in Iraq defending the country. The cops opened a case and I knew they were on my side but they were honest and said they didn't have enough to win. I was advised to drop it and live my life. I lived in a fucking hell for the next five years while he started a new life with a new woman, new job, and lots of money all the while threatening my mom and myself. He ended up blowing out his own brains so that is the only thing I got as closure. I know I am reacting based off emotions but with ever fiber of who I am I think he deserved the death penalty. Humans can be monsters and they parade around in the disguise of being a wonderful man respected by everyone that knew him and had the ability to make sure no one believed the seventeen year old step daughter that was "lying".
Well, there is the Bible story about Lot and his two skanky daughters. Fairy tales influence people's attitudes about all sorts of things. Who knows how many people and to what extent they were influenced by that story and similar ones?
