women are not pure angelic unembodied spirits

They're not :o!  WHAT?  That's.... that's like suggesting that good teachers are anything less than the embodiment of some saint/holy being/supernatural spirit!  That's madness/heresy/whatever you want to call it.  Ar!

I understand what you're saying (or trying to say) Nurgles, but let me point out that this is not what occurs with Aerie - so what is the point here?

Er.. I kinda got off track.  I can't remember any more...  wait for it..... erm, nope ;D.  Nothing is coming to mind.  I think that Aerie's situation isn't as serious as it could be, but I think that it mirrors our proposed situation in a couple of key ways.  But I'm afraid I can't point them out right now, b/c I've just been studying for finals and the only words that are popping into my head are "uniformitarianism" and "sigma notation".  Sorry  :P.  Finals stink.

They should behave like adults and dump the creep if he keeps bothering them to do something they don't want to do. It would be the same if the situation were reversed. I expect adults to behave like adults, not spineless self-pitying doormats.
And you say you know abuse survivors?  Well, they must all be well on their way in their recovery then.  :)

I'm puzzled.  I don't think anyone's suggested that incest is always, or even usually consensual.

Kish - that's what happens when I reply too hastily after getting 'stuck' on a particular sentance in someone's reply.  ::)  It's good to see that you're still paying attention.  :-*

Ghrey - As threads go, this one got a bit sidetracked..  It seems to have dead-ended, however, which is a good thing.  :)

I don't even know what to say about the new Viconia epilogue...
From sacrifice(original)/disappearance(original)/tragedy(original)
to paranoia/death?
Reminds me of a line from a game:
Life without freedom, is no life at all.
Eh, but my opinion is 1/6billion.
