Even if complaining does little to change things as fast as we would like, we have to expect they will change.
If you don't believe that, then look at it this way...
The last thing we want is the younger generations thinking this is the way things should be.
I always think of that old film Rosmary's Baby that came out before I was born:
The whole movie, the staid, conservative couple seems to be the semblance of normality and turn out to be leaders of a satanic cult. Rosemary, sold out to them by her aspiring actor husband, eventually figures out what is going on. She runs and tries to fight. Then at the end of of the movie, the baby is born and taken from Rosemary. She grabs a knife and goes looking for the baby. She finds it surrounded by cult memembers. The leader of the cult then convinces her to put down her knife and "be a mother to the baby" who is at that moment crying like normal babies. Rosemary goes to the crib and begins rocking the baby - which is then shown with it's demonic eyes.
The real horror is when we ACCEPT the "evil" in our lives.
