Holocaust Museum and Related Issues . . .

So I went to the Holocaust Museum in DC, and although I have always been aware of the Holocaust as a terrible event in the history of human kind, the museum helps one to perceive the true terror and evil of the event. How did such an event even happen? It is truly terrifying and mystifying that one crazy person could mobilize so many people into not only enabling, but perpetuating such horendous crimes against humanity. How could the masses have been so easily and willingly led astray? The whole event really kind of gives me a cynical view of humanity, and reminds of a related question I have always had.

Why is it seemingly only the white race that has sought to exploit or enslave other races? (I am not the most educated person on such matters, so I would be interested to hear about counter-examples if anyone knows any, i.e. a "minority" (non-white) race attempting to exploit a different race.) Freud always believed women possessed some sort of "penis envy." While I certainly do not believe that, I do wonder if white people have some sort of latent melanin envy. ?

Tools of Repression

So, this may make me some kind of a radical, but I feel like shit like high heels, thongs and makeup are tools of repression of women propogated by the man. They are emblematic somehow of women's inferiority in society to men. Are men "supposed to" (as propogated by society) wear thongs to avoid "VPL"=stupidest thing I have ever heard, high heels, wax their shit . . .? Of course not, it's ludicrous! Think about it; it's painful, or if you don't agree heels are painful, at least uncomfortable. And for those of you who argue the thong is "comfortable" and that underwear are weird because they have too much material, WTF?? Though I have never worn a thong for a consistent period of time (as I have heard they give you yeast infections-need God say more??), the times I have worn them have been a literal pain in the ass. If you think about it, are they not something akin to bits for horses? terrifying, no?

And why do you do all this shit? So some dude will think you are hot? (or is it more b/c society gives the go ahead to men to think you are hot?) -don't know which one, maybe dudes would naturally find a piece of material shoved up your ass and heels . . . to be sexy ? Dudes, feels free to chime in and attempt to support this shclock by stating that you are genuinely aroused by this stuff (and are thus not a tool yourself). I dunno, it just makes me sad . . . and "cankles"-wtf? As if people don't have enough shit to feel self conscious about! Don't even get me started . . . (Oh wait, I guess I already have:s!) Haha, I'm not sorry!
