Right.
If you think sexism is unfair, don't call it unfair unless you have a solution.
If you think racism is unfair, don't call it unfair unless you have a solution.
Suck it up women, people of color. If you stop complaining, and just work harder, eventually you'll make it. It might take generations, so just maintain a multi-generational view! I mean, many women say that to get the same recognition, they had to work twice as hard as men. So there you go: Shut up and work twice as hard!
If you think Capitalism is unfair, don't call it unfair unless you have devised the next generation economic system to replace it. The only person who had a right to call feudalism unfair was Adam Smith. Everyone else, especially those damn always complaining peasants, offered nothing.

Anyone who gets annoyed by the complaining potentially turns from an ally to an adversary when it comes time for a real solution. These costs may be worth paying when fighting for a tangible goal (e.g. abolition of slavery), but not worth it when the solution is still a ghost.
