Perpetual children mindests and their need to have instant gratification is making it so that no victory is a victory. Sad is no fun and life should only be a party.
Nothing was done in an instant and that is somehow unacceptable. I just want to feel good about a victory for like a minute without chucklefucks who have a very wrong idea of history claiming it's unprecedented to change.
If people actually knew how long the women's suffrage movement lasted and how many turns it took they would likely be very upset and also actually aware of how slow reality often is to move in global ways. Heck women in Utah were granted voting access and then had it taken away after they voted for polygamy against what men thought would happen.
People have to actually participate and work little by little but that's so much work and often it's filled with backsliding and failures and it hurts to lose. So it's easier to pretend it should just happen overnight and that's how people change. It's bullshit and storybook thinking mostly.
I do wish this was the case but wishing is to action what masturbating is to sex, fun but not the real thing.
