Most of us don't understand how anyone could think there's anything "normal" about a young woman in her 20s putting her head on her father's lap. We're not joking about incest, we're commenting on what we perceive as strange behavior.
That's exactly my point and the reason why I thought it was important to offer a different point of view. To you and most of the posters on this thread you can't imagine a daughter relaxing with her father in way as shown in the picture. I'm afraid you're contributing to the stereotypes the media likes to lay on us that we're cold, distant, and robotic. A lot of fathers and daughters have this kind of closeness and there's nothing wrong with it. There's another thread with this picture on it where this same argument broke out. Here's a comment by a freeper responding to spycatcher (I hope she doesn't mind me repeating it):
WHAT? WHAT? WHat is the cultural difference?
Please educate this innocent Irish girl.
Is it WRONG all of a sudden for a teenage girl to lay her head on her dad's lap and watch TV?
Is that perverse?
I'm 30.
If I'm watching telly at home, I often stretch out along the couch and put my head in my daddy's lap. And he may even stroke my hair.
IS that perverse all of a sudden??????
Are Republicans all of a sudden making something normal, perverse?
I'm sickened by the previous post in respect of AG's daughter. And the person who made it, is a sick mutha-*** in my mind. Humour is one thing. And this isn't.
I really believe you're offending a lot of normal people and are providing fodder for those that like to stereotype us.
