Are you talking about X the Unknown-- who is married, has three small children, and whose husband is probably at work and hasn't read your poetry?

I'm not big on reports and posting long articles and doing research either (I usually don't read them but prefer to read a summary by the poster who hopefully has read and understood it); I like hearing other opinions when they are reasonably presented and when some basis is given for them, which I didn't see in your post on that particular statement. You stated this opinion so definitively I thought you must have really seen a study that gave some validity to what it now appears is just an opinion. Which is just fine. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something.

Having worked years in Social Services, I would add that men are most certainly held accountable for "screwing kids"--- IF you can get the truth out of kids, wife, etc. You are right that there is a great deal of unwillingness to bring this into the courts; it's a very nasty business- and it's much easier to get testimony about boyfriends and live-ins than about fathers and husbands. But I think that very fact would prevent our knowing the prevalence of incest as compared to nonbio rape and make us unable to draw the conclusion you have.
