- 541: Gender Roles
- ... thinks the women's movement has won everything it wanted and should thus now be silent.

These changes involve the new ability of women to break out of the gender roles created for them by a patriarchal society. The ... necessary to have more women run. As noted, public views change more slowly than the reality of gender roles. They will continue to change slowly as long as we continue acculturating children with the same sexual stereotypes that have so long prevailed.

- 545: Monks and Today's Society
- ... money and material pleasures. Instead of having a lot of money, they got by with enough to live on, which was provided by the monasteries. The second of these vows, chastity, discouraged the monks from sexual desires, by not allowing such things as marriage and sexual indulgement. The last vow in which the monks lived by was obedience. This vow was not only used to keep order, but it was also used to make the monks humble and not proud. In ... strive for a (not as strict) more pure society as the monks had. The people of today, even though most of the three vows are broken, would probably struggle with the abstinence from marriage and sexual pleasures. Sex, in the United States, is everywhere.

- 547: Prohibiting Speech That Offends
- ... Many universities, under pressure to respond to the concerns of those who are the objects of hate, have adopted codes or policies prohibiting speech that offends any group based on race, gender, ethnicity, religion or sexual orientation. That's the wrong response, well-meaning or not. The First Amendment to the United States Constitution protects speech no matter how offensive its content. Speech codes adopted by government financed state colleges and ... a black student on campus and utters a racial slur. In that one-on-one confrontation, which could easily come to blows, the offending student could be disciplined under the "fighting words" doctrine for racial harassment.

Some traits can be defined simply by looking at the person, like hair color or height. Some cannot, like cancer or blood type (A, B, or O).
