Splitting heirs

What is the message to adopted people when everyone clarifies Dylan Farrow was an "adopted" daughter? Are they pointing out the contrast to Soon-Yi Previn, the step-daughter the man groomed and married? Or are they minimizing his role as a goddamned parent? Well, it wasn't "rape" rape. And she wasn't his "daughter" daughter.

I hold a decades long ban on Woody Allen anything. I was very young when the scandal with Soon-Yi broke and my mom explained what it was all about. I was thoroughly grossed out (as a nine year old) and swore off his stuff forever.

I can't even with the whole thing.

I didn't really see the hooplah until I had my own step-daughter. I split with her mother 10 years ago. She's 26. If we were date, it would be skeezy.
