The need to force others to adhere to the rules you observed throughout your life is a fundamental conservative value.
Many of their hang ups exist solely to satisfy this need.
Gay people can’t be gay because I wasn’t allowed to be gay. Even if i didn’t want to it doesn’t matter.
There are only two genders because I wasn’t allowed to be the other gender if I wanted so neither should you.
I didn’t have sex out of wedlock so neither can you.
This can go on day after day. It doesn’t matter how broken the rule is, if they have lived their lives under that rule they won’t accept challenges to it.
It’s a cycle. We will be guilty of it once something new pops up. Sure we may have challenged for gender equality, sex positivity, body positivity climate change etc, but if were 46 and we’ve spent our entire life living mostly monogamously and the new generation starts challenging for widespread polygamy and polyamory, a fair share of us are going to insist that society stay largely monogamous.
There's nothing here!
