When I suggested that a woman who was paid to have sex with Prince Andrew is a prostitute I was quickly accused of something called, ‘victim blaming.’ Several people who don’t know anything about me asserted that I would ‘feel differently if my daughter were the one being abused.’

They believe this is true about me because hypocrisy is true about them. They adjust their standards of good and bad behavior on a case by case basis. If their own daughter, at age 17, agreed to party with Prince Andrew on Jeffrey Epstein’s pedophile island; the girl would be absolved of any sin because she was a minor. These parents don’t think girls can sin until they reach age 18. I disagree.

Starting when they were still in diapers, my own daughters were taught that they are capable of naughty behavior. I didn’t think of my girls as angelic princesses. My girls were rotten, selfish, sinners — just like my boys. All my kids knew that consequences followed bad behavior and that some day, the consequences could be severe. They were told that the world wouldn’t treat them with the same grace they received at home.

It is unlikely that either of my daughters would have jetted off to party with billionaire playboys on a remote island. I’m old-fashioned and regressive so when they were minors, I wouldn’t let them spend the night with boys. I discouraged them from being prostitutes because they would suffer for that sin. They both trusted me enough to take my advice. How’s that for privilege?

I’m not ‘victim blaming’ anyone because there is no victim from my point of view. A rich, entitled, selfish member of the Royal family took advantage of a less-wealthy but equally selfish teenage girl who willingly subjected herself to his whims. I would describe it exactly the same no matter whose daughter plays the role of prostitute.

The godless culture tried to teach my kids to ‘live their own truth.’ I carefully explained (using lots of sarcasm and humor) that my precious children didn’t have their own truth. They knew that the definition of prostitute wouldn’t change if they became prostitutes. I taught my kids that the truth is reliable and unchanging.

The people accusing me of ‘victim blaming’ are not telling the truth. A lack of truth is what drives young girls into the arms of rich pedophiles. If you were honest with your children and told them that sin would ruin their lives, there wouldn’t be so many ‘victims.’

“The Lord saw how great man’s wickedness on the earth had become, and that every inclination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil all the time.”

(Genesis 6:5)
