[See the wanton little girl who won't even put up a struggle? How many times has he wondered if he will go to Hell because he did not fight hard enough? But it had been his own reaction, not the abuse itself, that had caused everyone to judge him.

If so, why did that make her more guilty than her brother? She was a girl. Girls and women are to be protected. It's men who are the perpetrators. As a man coming from a time that produced Pamela and Mozart's Don Giovanni, it's beyond his scope to immediately understand.]
