One unfortunate trend of history is the tendency of oppressor/victim categories (along with favored groups) to flip flop over time as social groups react and counter-react to each other. It never solves anything and the blame game needs to ultimately be transcended if real tolerance and equality is to be possible. It's one reason I dislike the idea of labeling myself as a progressive. I can't stand the tendency some progressives have to put an icing of nice sounding rhetoric about tolerance and equality over a passive-aggressive "blame men/caucasians" mentality. It would be far better if progressives went back to the goals of empowering workers they had in the 1930s and 19th century.

Still feeling like Freddy in Return Of The Living Dead.
