I don’t make laws of nature, nor human nature, nor behavioral development, nor empirical evidence.
Truth doesn’t care about your approval.
There are plenty of things everyone would like to justify doing in public.
I’ve been warned by police around the world for hand holding, kissing, and putting my arm around my wife with my thumb in her belt loop – all by habitual accident despite knowing it’s a rule, and all of which are appropriate in my country but very inappropriate in others.
You don’t get to choose norms.
You don’t have rights.
People grant you rights.
Because people construct rights.
And they construct them normatively and legislatively.
And they construct them with rights, obligations, and inclinations.
Because rights obligations and inalienations almost exclusively exist to prevent you from imposing a cost on others, whether you weigh that cost or not.
Becuase that’s what moral means: non imposition of costs upon the demonstrated interests (costs) paid by others – one of the most important being the hgh cost of self regulation and the high cost of raising children capable of self regulation and competition in the rather brutal meritocratic arena of the sexual, social, economic, and political marketplaces.
Where those markets calculate the good and bad empirically independently of our opinions.
