The belief that tradition is worthless is 1960s hippyist counter-culture bull$hit and it is every bit is dumb as homophobia itself. Human civilization has literally thousands of years of tradition for various things. That is, people tried things out, those that worked stayed, those that didn't work got forgotten. It's like evolution, only for society. And counter-culture is genetic engineering without the proper scientific knowledge for it. So, we have thousands of years of tradition based on what stayed after meticulous, slow progress. In the 1960s you got some pot-smokers thinking they could do better than that in one year, and America still hasn't climbed out of the bullshiit. Only a complete retard would think that you can do as well in one year as countless generations had done in thousands of years. It's a completely radical, (and half-assed,) proposition, and it's hamstrung this country to such a point that we're still fuucked because of it. From worshipping Anna Nicole Smith to Grand Theft Auto to a 50% divorce rate, all this crap dates back to the 1960s. Shaping civilization is NOT like fuucking in bushes, whatever these nudist flower people believed.
Yeah, women's rights and black rights are a good thing, but look at the price we paid -- America is a sick society, and we're exporting this sickness across the globe, making people hate us. The 1960s were like anything radical -- you DESTROY some things that are bad, but you're doing it so fast that you destroy a lot of good things that shouldn't have been destroyed. That's why gradual, slow change is better -- the injustices get solved slower, but the society stays healthy.
By the way, African American studies and Women's studies are considered the two most worthless disciplines, and unless a person is going to make a career of bawwwwwwwwing he would never major in them. A guy I used to know took a Women's Studies course in college, he told me literally all they did in the class was hating on men and teaching the students how bad men are. As a guy, the person in question felt extremely uncomfortable because he was getting hated on. I myself would never argue that women should receive less political opportunities or pay than men, but Women's Studies is not about that, it's about militant lesbians trying to castrate society.
tl;dr: tradition is essential to a healthy society, don't bash on it.
