I think of it as growing pains. The community grows from the new ideas, and we might improve ourselves from the knowledge, so every member of the group can benefit from it.

It's the same problem when we talk about white privilege. There will always be push-back before acceptance. But without the push, nothing will happen. Despite what history books say, dominant groups do not give oppressed groups right. The minority has to fight for it.

At the very least we should stand up for the ideals that are important to us, so girls growing up in this broken society can see that there's an alternative to quietly accepting that in this twisted game, they are not considered "players" but prey.
