Eh, half the reason Amish hate phones is that they'll infect the community with newfangled ideas like respecting women and gay marriage, so I feel very comfortable laughing at them for their willful ignorance.
Don't forget "not molesting children." https://www.npr.org/2020/01/19/797804404/investigation-into-child-sex-abuse-in-amish-communities
The title says it's about child sexual abuse, but the transcript only shows discussion of abuse of women. Why is that?
