He is also reported to have had a very tolerant attitude towards incest. He tells lies about this: when asked why this rumour about him being pro-incest keeps coming up, he fails to mention a Penthouse magazine article in which he is quoted as saying (in reference to a book he was writing about the issue): "... 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." ...and... If pushed to the wall, would Farrell urge incest on families? "Incest is like a magnifying glass," he summarizes. "In some circumstances it magnifies the beauty of the relationship..." Even though he had ample opportunity at the time to correct what he now calls a mis-quote he never did until relatively recently (I guess appearing to be pro-incest would have an impact on book sales), In more recent times I heard an Australian interview with him where he had an opportunity to correct the interviewer when he was introduced as a former member of the NOW national board, but he didn't. For such a strident anti-feminist he seems more than happy to bask in the creditability such an association apparently gives him. g ------------------------ Yahoo!
