In this situation it was semi facetious, but I do love that quote. I do think it's definitely true for many people. The great souls are often the ones who take the longest to achieve what they can achieve. Einstein was apparently not the best of school students. I apply it to myself because the messy path and setbacks I've had and mistakes I've made over the last five years or so whilst knowing my potential.
I'm not quite sure what you're talking about. But is an example from human society of what you're talking radical feminism in that if the world was how they wanted it it would be horrible but they were useful in bringing about a moderate feminism, an equality?
