Some of the biggest opponents to women's rights have been... women. It's the whole "I managed with this so you should too" (instead of making things better for everyone) bullshit. We see the same with immigration etc as well.

This narrative is endlessly weaponized, deployed in culture wars, racial divisions, and sexism to block progress. People cling to it, mistaking struggle for virtue and comfort for weakness. But life brings enough challenges naturally. We don't need to invent extra hardship to prove our worth.
