I keep saying that things really aren't a lot worse today than they were when we were growing up or even when our parents or grandparents were children. The only differences are that some things that were once considered normal are now called deviant behavior (believe it or not incest was pretty common when we were an agricultural nation) or we're just more aware and open today of what is deviant.

Remember that when we're growing up a girl who got raped was asking for it. No meant if you could force me, it was okay. At least that has changed. Statistically, one in three women over the age of sixty was sexually molested. I doubt those numbers have changed.
