If Yan Can Take It, So Can You!

Having millions of people enduring something for tens of generations or more does not make something right. Whenever I rail at someone about perceived social injustices, I get answers like if everyone can put up with it, why can't you? Truly, I do not see why skirts come with no pockets, and why people would carry handbags that're overloaded, really heavy and terrible for the posture. Beauty need not involve inordinate amounts of suffering. High heels are an abomination!

Ok, fashion aside, we have things like people being required by their companies to do the work of two people. We have overworked people having trouble looking after their own children. And now both the husband and wife have to work to maintain an "average" way of life, instead of having only one spouse working at a time. Facts of life? Everyone takes it, I suppose, or so says my friend. I guess if humans are content with what is going on, what right have I to demand that they change their ways. Go ahead, live in your Matrix. The steaks are tastier in there.
