This entry is not about a particular reading or discussion, rather it is a short comment on my personal reaction to the materials we are covering in this course.
As I go back and review some of the articles I am reading them faster and in many cases just scanning through; the one thought that keeps running through my mind is how did society ever tolerate this....but then again the same can be said for slavery, religious persecution and a host of other transgression brought upon our species. Apparently 'we' are advanced, educated and blessed with brilliant minds. However, it is these same men, in these instances, who are responsible for some rather heinous acts against women and the mentally ill. It is ironic that women were seen to need 'therapy' for almost everything short of being born, but men could hide behind science and experiments for the greater good and continue their sanctioned torture. Sadly, I know this still happens in parts of the world and not all of these places are the lesser developed nations.
Power over the weak or those perceived to be weak is still the most addictive drug in the world.
