A crotchety uncle of mine said to me - and I'm paraphrasing - that giving women and blacks equal rights wasn't about helping them. It was a long-game to allow them to show the world they couldn't handle it. Yeah, the country would suffer but we're strong enough to survive. It was either give them enough rope to hang themselves or continue fighting it and never getting anything else done.
