Your daughter gets married!

The title is intended to shock you into reality… 

Is that her? No.  Even if you’re an apologist, a bleeding heart liberal (except when it affects you directly) or some kind of nutjob, you’re now relieved this is not happening around you, therefore there is no possibility this girl or any other one that goes through the same situation every day, is your daughter or someone remotely related to you…. but what about them? Don’t they matter?

The bottom line for me is. It’s retrograde, it’s unfair, it’s sick. This is not a culture thing. It’s abuse.
