Unless a certain oppressive activity is institutionalized, one must take responsibility for one's failures as well as successes. Other than that, groupthink will always play the blamegame, and victimhood's ability to keep one from their full potential will allow for a perpetual cycle of decline and hopelessness.

You have echoed a theme articulated by Jamie Glazov in his Front Page piece, “Thank you, Glenn Beck, for Exposing Communism’s Evils.” He takes a long look at what is considered "victimization" here in the free world, compared to what people suffer at the hands of true oppressors. <a href="http://frontpagemag.com/2010/02/08/thank-you-glenn-beck-for-exposing-communism%E2%80%99s-evils/" rel="nofollow">http://frontpagemag.com/2010/02/08/thank-you-glen...</a> He speaks of American Feminists who believe they are oppressed because women can wear swimsuits here on our public beaches. He points out that Honor Killings and Female Mutilation are oppressive, (crimes never bemoaned by radical feminists,) not the ability to don the clothing of one’s choice. Thank you so much for covering this. Jeanette Dear Jen,

And thanks for pointing out Jamie's piece - he knows just how to go for the jugular of the feminist left. His piece reminds me of the first time I heard of female genital mutilation when I was in college. My friend's professor took a cultural relativist approach, explaining that it wasn't fair for us to judge the practice based on Western values. Eventually I transferred to a different school. :-) Thank you, Jeanette!
