It seems there are no feminists in foxholes.
When a person's ideology punishes or discourages deviation, such as the shaming that seems prevalent nowadays, that person has very little incentive to tackle difficult or novel problems within the frame of their ideology. Why thread into unknown waters, if you only find risk? Like with other organizations (like Catholicism, Mormons, a number of government agenices, etc.) the only real way to tackle issues which are outside the movement's immediate area of knowledge, is by having the leadership come together and act. Unfortunately, that usually only happens after continued outside pressures.
