Hmm. Of course the comparison with Fritzl is disgusting, and the focus on evangelical Christians rather than Muslims, who abuse women (wives as well as daughters) is deeply repugnant.

However, I must say, the idea of a “father-daughter purity ball” makes me want to vomit. And what a double standard. Nothing about sons’ purity – that’s somehow never seen as important, although the Bible requires chastity outside marriage for both men and women.
