You have NO IDEA how wrong you are.
The red part of your statement, is offensive to me. I was molested twice and then raped. My oldest daughter is being treated as a replacement wife by her father. But YOU THINK THIS IS WORSE?
Does that make any sense to you?
"molestation does not make the news because it happens all the time"? So does murder and robbery...
You don't hear about it as often because of the factor of shame and revictimization.
Look we are arguing over something that IMO is ridiculous. As I said, does the guy have a screw loose? Maybe. Could he have gone about this "lesson" a bit differently? I am sure he could have. But do I think it is SUCH a big deal?
NO.
There are many MANY places in the world where animals (familly pet or mouser) would NEVER be elevated to the status of humans. If that offends some who live in cushy America, so be it. But it shouldn't offend anyone if this does NOT offend all of us.
There is no need to get our panties in a wad over this - pure and simple.
