Looking back, how often has social conservatism been on the right side of human rights and wellbeing vs social liberalism?

Black folks not being property, women getting to vote, gay people getting the same rights as every other citizen...these are the things that were opposed by the socially conservative and championed by the socially liberal.
These days the socially conservative like to label progressive social ideas as "woke" and this is meant to be a dirty word...but you could easily apply "woke" to the idea of treating slaves as human beings or thinking that women actually are competent adults who can vote.

If you're being honest, how often has being socially conservative proved to be on the wrong side of human well-being?

They seem to want everything to always be the same generation to generation. No progress, no advancement. No bettering ourselves or our world. They want perpetual early 20th century.

@summersmiles With parts of previous centuries thrown in. Like the 18th and 19th..😷

@whowasthatmaskedman that's true
I had to make it early 20th century because of their insistence that we never go beyond oil energy and the internal combustion engine.
