It's not all about you though, is it? Many people, women included, have been upset to the point of suicide. It cannot continue.
The shenanigans in Parliament may mean that this forthcoming legislation is delayed or amended, but I do not think for a moment that things will be allowed to carry on as they are.
Things change, older people lose touch as their experience & ideas become outdated and are replaced by younger people with modern ideas as a solution to modern problems.
At one time we were the leaders of change and older people were irritated by us, now younger people are doing it to us and we often don't like it.
You can be sure that the people driving forward the changes of today will experience the same thing in years to come.
