If millions of woman have suffered because our governments' and society's mis-handling of their predicament, should we NOT correct the problem (because it might be hard to do so) so that subsequent millions of women don't have to suffer the same fate?

It's great when we make the right desisions and judgements in a timely manner. It just doesn't always happen that way. Ever had a relationship that you utterly mishandled because you didn't do the right thing at the right time -- and then the other person in the relationship escalated what should have been dealt with properly in the first place......

....but then you don't deal with now escalated, worse problem because now, not only is it still hard to deal with, but now you are complicitous in having mishandled it in the first place and allowing the thing to escalate.

Do you ever ultimately DEAL with it?
