Wait, what? I have a feeling I was better off being ignorant.
Part of mainstream Amish theology is basically that it's the job of the community to handle people sinning, not outsiders, and after rape has been "handled" by a period of shunning it's basically forbidden for community members to not re-embrace them, including their victim.
Fucking nightmare for the victims, for obvious reasons.
But also, & more likely as suggested above, a Norm MacDonald joke. See here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ljaP2etvDc4
