“Sex roles, ethnicity, religious distinctions, and the like are less oppressive than liberating.
They free us from formlessness and enable us to live with other people in a definite and functional manner that is, as much as possible, in accordance with our innate and acquired characteristics.In contrast, inclusiveness tends toward tyranny. In place of a largely self-governing equilibrium based on shared ways of life and natural, accustomed, or voluntary connections, it gives us an imposed social scheme based on money and bureaucratic hierarchy, in which we are manipulated through incentives and penalties or simply told what to do.” James Kalb — Against Inclusiveness HappyAcres

My uncle Letsgo Lozko, world champion bantam chicken rancher, told me that there were many different chicken colors and shapes.
One thing he did emphasize was "Alla dem, you chust stand back some, dey all look alike. A chicken is a chicken".
So I guess it depends on one's perspective.

Even Robert B. Parker, himself an old-line Massachusetts liberal, expressed himself through his character Spenser to the effect that "You have to have rules. Anything else is chaos."
Precisely.
