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?

Every. Damned. Time!

Approx 2,500 years ago, the Ancient Greeks abandoned the idea of doing what their predecessors/ancestors did. Instead, they began to look forward, to be innovative, to be progressive.

Time to learn yet another lesson from the Ancient Greeks...........yeah, I get the irony🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️
