Some Observations, Part Two

[catsittingstill]

Now that I've laid out these arguments, and people have had a chance to consider them I will just point out that the actual post that prompted these thoughts on my part occurred earlier this summer, and was a touching and heartfelt plea for better treatment of a different popular and powerful majority.

I would just like to point out that every point of my argument about better treatment for straights--who is the majority, by how much, how the majority owns society and government, and that the majority has a pattern of mistreating the minority that goes back for centuries and continues, if slightly abated, to this day--applies equally well to the popular and powerful majority the writer wanted better treatment for: religious people.*

And my point that demanding better treatment for the group that is *already* getting better treatment contributes to oppression, whether or not it was intended that way? Yeah, that applies too.

* To be fair, in the case in question this worked out to be demanding better treatment for straights in any case.
