okay so i'm talking about how all suffrages/fights/campaings for equality takes it's time especially when you're figthing against society not really government...i said that the civil rights movement had to take time because that's the way it's worked with women's suffrage (they're not allowed to serve on frontlines) and i'm going to mention how gays/lesbian haven't acquired there's etiher....are there any other examples??

Well it's not just because that's the way it worked in another case, changing ANY norm in a society takes time because you encounter generations resistant to change and the current generation is learning from that generation while also hearing these new arguments and must decide what to follow.
It takes a few generations for the norm to change because the ideology of a generation has to be altered. It only gets harder if the ones in power do not support the change because they have significant advantages such as capital, media power and influence.
Another example could be the rights of people with AIDS or those who are HIV positive when it comes to jobs. Another one would be disabled people and job discrimination as well. One of the newer ones is age discrimination: favouring a younger over an older worker (healthcare costs, new technology, etc.)
