To My Porn-Watching Dad, From Your Daughter

Not a problem. And I didn't think it was immature on the writer's behalf to share a traumatic experience that began as a "12 year old" stumbling on her father's computer porn. How awfully shocking!

I agree. I know a couple who went for counseling because of her husband's horrible porn addiction. He was so obsessed that he would look at the lingerie section of her mail-order catalogs - JC Penny, Dillards, etc.

Anyway, the interesting part of the counseling is that the husband was instructed to make a list of EVERYTHING that had a sexual message for him from the time he left the house for work until he got home - billboards, magazines at grocery checkout, etc.

The counselor said, "I want you to be aware of what society is doing to our men so that you can help me fight this."

So, that is why I do not in anyway think the daughter was immature to post the letter.

Men can keep putting on the mantra - "Boys will be boys" and "Cut him some slack." But, please note that in Deut 22:20 if a woman was found NOT to be a virgin, she was brought to her "father's doorstep" and stoned. Not outside the camp or at the city gate, but to her father. He is and should be her principle protector. Men should take that roll much more seriously than they do today.
