When people are attached to positions they believe are their birthright, you get huge amounts of backlash. When men think women are taking opportunities and privileges away from them, when they think women are challenging male dominance, you get backlash. But we have to deal with that. Women cannot -- and should not -- internalize patriarchal values and give and give and give until we're nothing. What would need to change is for men in positions of power to accept that women can surpass them without having wronged them.
