Should the Empowerment of one group come at the expense of Others?

Reality should come in second after feeling good. I'm sure when they all have high self-esteem, they will repay us for all the kindness we have shown them. Besides we have been oppressing them for thousands of years, is it no wonder that they are a little miffed at us? We should try to placate women by giving them everything they ask for and atone for our crimes against them.
