Institutions can be beautiful things. They bring people together, they support important causes, they are support systems for their members. One of the assets of an institution is its stability– knowledge gets passed down from generation to generation. But stability is a double-edged sword. It also means that you can be resistant to some much-needed change.
Flaws can be built into a long-standing enterprise, especially one that has lasted decades and centuries. Things can be proven incorrect later, manners and proprieties can change, and of course prejudices of another era can metastasize.
But for some people, that doesn’t mean that the institution should be given up on or thrown away. They want to change the system, but for something so established, that can be a tall task.
