which is jut absurd, but let's say he was right... enough people must agree with the idea that it's the right thing to do. Does he think people just stopped using racial slurs (others not so much. yet) because they were shamed or some such? Enough people understood it was hurtful and wrong and society changed. The idea that MORE PEOPLE AGREED WITH won, in the end.

So if more people think it is rude that ogling another person like they are a THING, not a person, who deserves no respect, until they feel uncomfortable - then that will be the societal norm.

Why dos he hate democracy and an egalitarian society so much?
