Do you stand by your previous statements regarding incest?

The father-daughter scene, ineluctably complicated by feelings of dominance and control, is not nearly so sanguine. Despite some advertisements, calling explicitly for positive female experiences, Farrell discovered that 85 percent of the daughters admitted to having negative attitudes toward their incest. Only 15 percent felt positive about the experience. On the other hand, statistics from the vantage of the fathers involved were almost the reverse — 60 percent positive 10 percent mixed, and 20 percent negative. “Either men see these relationships differently,” comments Farrell, “or I am getting selective reporting from women.”

Above, critics have claimed that you seem to be privileging the positive feelings an abuser has about the abuse over the negative feelings the abused has.

“First, because millions of people who are now refraining from touching, holding, and genitally caressing their children, when that is really a part of a caring, loving expression, are repressing the sexuality of a lot of children and themselves. Maybe this needs repressing, and maybe it doesn’t. My book should at least begin the exploration.”

Critics have attacked the comparison above between parents caressing the genitals of their children and healthy loving expression.

EDIT TO ADD: To clarify, I would like to know if you still hold the view that incest is being shaped from a positive, bonding experience into a negative one by societal expectations and by therapists. Is it an accurate reflection of your beliefs to say that the damage from incest is created ex post facto, after the child in an incest scenario sees the reaction others have to their experience.

You say:

“Second, I’m finding that thousands of people in therapy for incest are being told, in essence , that their lives have been ruined by incest. In fact, their lives have not generally been affected as much by the incest as by the overall atmosphere. … “The average incest participant can’t evaluate his or her experience for what it was. As soon as society gets into the picture, they have to tell themselves it was bad. It’s a self-fulfilling prophecy. “

Let's not forget the literal terrorist manifesto they are hosting.

They are actually lauding a man who beat a 4 year old, and when he faced consequences, wrote a manifesto with instructions on creating bombs and advocated violently attacking police officers.

[T]he dirty deeds are being carried out by our local police, prosecutors and judges. … Collaborators who are no different than the Vichy of France or the Quislings of Norway during the Second World War. … And they need to be held accountable. So burn them out. … There will be some casualties in this war. Some killed, some wounded, some captured. Some of them will be theirs. Some of the casualties will be ours. …

I only managed to get the main door of the Cheshire County Courthouse in Keene, NH. I would appreciate it if some of you boys would finish the job for me.
