I mean sure, acknowledge and address the fact that people have "lost eyes" in the past, acknowledge that it's wrong and regrettable, and then have everyone move forward together, progressively, to ensure that it doesn't continue happening. It's literally the only way things are going to improve... But, it so often seems to me that many people are far more concerned with having past grievances acknowledged than they are with preventing future grievances, and even at the EXPENSE of progress. "We have the right to be angry and hold grudges even if that anger makes things worse".
It makes me question the entire motive.

It's about WOMENS equality. Men have been more than equal for a long time. And women don't
need men to lead us on this. But we do need your support.
I honestly don't see how anything else you've said relates to what I said.
