I'll go through it.
First paragraph: The author has brought gender into it... why? First thing that hits me and I will look to the rest of the article to have it answered.
Second paragraph: Definition of incest is not factually correct. Bias shown against incest via the use of "inappropriate touching".
Third paragraph: Fair enough I will go with that assumption. I certainly agree that incest is very widespread however from my study, albeit rather scattered, of incestuous material on the internet, I would say that the indication is that both are equally common.
Fourth paragraph: Oh dear. This is where he lets the hat out of the bag. Previously, when he was talking about Father-son intercourse etc. He
actually meant when the son was still a child.
So to recap so far. This author defines incest as a relationship that must be kept secret from other family members and takes place when one or both members are in their childhood. I have big problems with this.
Skip to paragraph 10: Ahhh so this is why gender is an issue. Because girls are essentially not as powerful as boys and so would feel pressured into the sex. An unfair assumption and one that does not affect the authors definition of sibling incest which he said included homosexual incest as well.
paragraph 11: I don't know where he got
that assumption from. For starters, why the gender bias and then why is it relevant?
paragraph 12: Well sure he is totally right here. I'm pretty sure if I had a homosexual relationship in say Iran, I would suffer from the same problems. Doesn't mean that homosexuality is wrong, however. It doesn't even mean that I shouldn't be able to agree with my partner to have such a relationship given such troubles.
Then the author goes on to talk about rape. His argument is basically saying that rape, being rape, is wrong and since we know that incest, under my special definition, must be rape, incest must be wrong also.
Actually that was a lot more dodgy than when I first read it through lol
