Snarky:
I dunno. How can the human race have progressed so far and yet have someone actually wish rape on a feminist in a rather vitriolic manner for no other reason than he knew it would strike a sore spot with her, because he knew she had been raped in the past? And how can this same person claim to be so above humanity that he can question such a thing?
Serious:
The problem is that we're human. We may evolve, but as long as there is any difference of opinion, there will always be things like hate crime, discrimination, social inequality, etc.
Hell, even holy wars. Even if religion completely dies out, there will be a "holy war" eventually, because there are always other banners to march behind.
Of course, that's not to say the human species isn't improving. There used to be many more wars over things like land. There are still wars over this thing, such as the war between Israel and Palestine, and then there was the thinly veiled oil grab as a reaction to 9/11, but to be quite honest, we do seem to have improved somewhat.
Hell, the fact that there's as many equal rights now is progress.
