Actually, this kind of thing is all too common with redneck families. The incest part is, in fact, quite rare (just as rare as any other part of the world). But fathers are protective of their daughters to an extreme degree with dumb hillbillies (or any other group of uneducated lower-class). This is sometime the cause of a major motivation on the part of the daughter to [i]get the hell out of the house and away from dad.[/i] Redneck women are always on the lookout for men who can get them out of whatever horrible situation they are in (physical or sexual abuse, alcoholism-drenched poverty, whatever). Why don’t they just take charge and strike out on their own? Well, there’s this problem with abuse towards women which is very common with rednecks. A cycle of fear that I try to break whenever I witness it. [img]images/smiles/icon_mad.gif[/img]
To get back to what Stan did with Sissy Gollean, I don’t think Stan did anything wrong. For her, anything is better than life with the Gollean clan. It was the other way around, DT790. Sissy took advantage of Stan.
What Sissy really should have done is moved to Atlanta, go to business school, and marry a performance artist from Canada.
This episode was yet another grim insight of the mentality of the post-Reconstruction Era southern United States. [img]images/smiles/icon_eek.gif[/img]
