When the wheels make the man, part 2

Each incarnation of an ugly news story out of Darwin, Australia, continues to boggle my mind. A 26-year-old man had sex with his disabled, wheelchair-using mother who, when able to get away, told her doctor about the assault.

The first story I saw on this had the lovely headline "Desperate man had sex with wheelchair-bound mum." Apparently, he was so distraught that the ladies don't fancy him that he became "desperate."

And now there's this headline:

Wheelchair incest man jailed in Darwin

Note for clarity's sake that no one committed incest with a chair. Note also that the man was not a chair-user. It's his mother, the victim of sexual assault, who is reduced to being a modifier for her son's act: "wheelchair incest." And finally, note that the man is serving time for incest (because it's illegal to have sex with a close relative), but not for sexual assault or rape.

Because you are nothing without your assistive equipment. See similar post here.
