Fairness does not automatically benefit everyone

The claim that fairness benefits everyone is too simple: while movements like feminism can free people from constrained gender roles (a real benefit to the advantaged group too), finite resources distributed inequitably mean that moving toward fairness genuinely asks advantaged groups to give up some of what they have, which is why civil rights, Black Lives Matter, and feminist movements meet so much resistance—people aren't dumb and know fairness costs them.
