>When something has been far too bent over in one direction, you often need to push it over the other way to eventually correct it. Holding it in the middle and thinking it will stay put over generations is wishful at best. I disagree, once it is held at the middle for a generation, it will stay there (barring some unrelated event pushing it back), because people will have grown up with it there, and all of the inertia has shifted to holding it in the middle. In fact, even without any holding, I would expect it to tend towards the middle (albeit very slowly). In my mind, all that movements such as feminism are doing is (greatly) accelerating the rate we get there (which I am in favor of).
