Reddit reviews The Kiss

Maybe I'm the only one who had this thought, but in reading that article I can't help but question why this is being thought of only in a father-daughter context? Why not a mother-son context? After all, if the premise is that even as an adult a woman can not really make the decision to consent to sex with someone who holds so much influence over them as her father, then why not broaden it to say the same thing about a son in relation to his mother?

In any event, to get back to the question in this topic, this article brings up the case of Kathryn Harrison, who by the article's account "didn't grow up with her father, and their incest began when she was an adult", which to me calls into question how much influence her father really might have had over her. I found this to be even more curious when I read the Amazon.com page for her book which states she "did not really meet her father until she was 20". If a grown woman meets a man for the first time and discovers he is actually her biological father, and then she decides she wants to have sex with him, how can it still be rape? I'd love to have that explained to me.

If you haven't read it, you might be interested in this. It pretty much supports you point.
