> women, children, and minorities have far more freedom and privacy than they ever have historically

Zoe Quinn, black men getting shot at traffic stops and victims of cyberbullying might all have a different opinion about that.

This is a bit of goal post shifting. I am claiming we are getting better. Not that we have solved all problems.

None of those things are good. But you needn't dig hard to find our culture actively doing these things almost with glee not long ago. Our bar is rightfully higher than it was, and we have legitimate criticisms to overcome. But don't let that detract from the fact that the bar is higher.
