If civilization had been left in female hands, we would still be living in grass huts.
—Camille Paglia, in Sexual Personae
When self-respecting social justice warriors (SJWs) wish to deprecate social conditions in the past, they never measure them by the social standards and circumstances that prevailed then. SJWs look at things the politically correct way. They:
- Always measure the past in terms of today’s social standards, in terms of victims of oppression and of oppressors, as otherwise they would make an objective assessment of how things were;
- By no means ever mention – let alone give credit to – those who did the most to make it possible to lift people of both sexes and their children out of squalor, starvation and poverty;
- Always, time and again, highlight the suffering that women and women’s children were objected to;
- Never mention that running water and sewer systems (designed and built by men) – not so much vaccines and improved medical technology (which men invented, promoted, produced and caused to be implemented) – brought an end to massive, devastating epidemics;
- Constantly bring to mind the terrible suffering inflicted throughout history on women and women’s children through war, famine, deadly starvation, diseases and living conditions;
- Never, ever mention or even allude to the role that men played and the sacrifices men made in fighting for home and country;
- Most definitely do not thank men for making countless sacrifices when bringing about scientific discoveries, inventions, fabrication, construction, improving, maintaining and repairing things that improved living conditions for all;
- Don’t give men credit for designing, constructing, maintaining, repairing, expanding and constantly improving,

Roads, railroads, tunnels, bridges, airlines and airports, shipping lanes and harbours, telecommunication (from signalling by optical means (e. g.: smoke signals) through telegraph and then telephone over wires and eventually radio and TV via electromagnetic waves, to establishing a global network employing fibre-optic cables and the transmission of light to carry signals, and employing satellites that enable us to have global positioning systems, weather observations and communication via smart phones that enable essentially everyone on Earth – through a few touches of his fingertips –to reach in an instant anyone else. All of which and more brought about the - Progressive elimination of starvation and the twenty-fold reduction in the number of annual rates of fatalities due to natural disasters, during the interval from 1900 to 2010. Nevertheless and in spite of that, SJWs
- Will not, under any circumstance, give men any credit for having thought of and made reality the things that doubled the average lifespan of people in the world since the beginning of the 20th century and for having made people wealthier and much more comfortable, to boot. “From 1750 to 2009, global life expectancy more than doubled, from 26 years to 69 years, global population increased 8-fold, and incomes increased 11-fold.” (Indur M. Goklany, ‘Humanity Unbound : How Fossil Fuels Saved Humanity from Nature and Nature from Humanity‘, 2012 12 20, Cato Institute; Policy Analysis No. 715, p. 7)
… and give them credit for nothing.
Still, we give the feminist SJWs a free hand with blaming men for everything bad that happens and has happened, sit back and watch what develops. Regardless of the outcome, and that is a parody of social justice, the reality remains that,

That is immutable. The extent of the meaning expressed in the next quote can vary. It can be changed. It relates to the power and extent of ideological totalitarianism that rules us absolutely or not so much:
Who controls the past controls the future. Who controls the present controls the past.
— George Orwell, in 1984
That leads to this:
A government is not the expression of the popular will, but rather the expression of what a nation’s people are willing to endure.
— Kurt Tucholsky
Lastly,
Who falls asleep in a democracy will wake up in a dictatorship.
— Otto Gritschneder,
(when asked why he wanted to publicize the system of terror in German military justice under the Nazis)
The influence of social justice warriors on social evolution is an outcome of mob rule.
