By remembering how bad the past sucked. How much better off I am as a woman now, than at almost any time in the past - even if we are going in the wrong direction, still better off than even my mom was. My mom was alive for the integration of schools, alive when women could not open bank accounts in her state, we have made plenty of progress. Violence is less than 1/10th of what it was here when I was a kid.

Yes inequality sucks, because there are now enough resources for everyone. But it doesn't suck like the middle ages, or the 1930s, or any time before that.
