147. Reasoning flaws...
I don't mean to chastise you, but your conclusion (the 50% number), is fatally and statistically flawed. To make the numerical leap, you have to ASSUME a 1:1 ratio of stepdad to step daughter ratio. In other words, every stepdad must have one daughter and every daughter must have one stepdad. This totally disregards any family with multiple children, and any family with a stepdad but no daughter. You simply cannot use this funny math to make such a cruel conclusion that half of all step fathers are raping their daughters. While I'll agree that the may be more incest between steps, you will never convince me without solid statistics that half of all men who remarry are raping their new daughters.
