The question, therefore, is whether there are similar morally significant distinctions between people.

There seems one obvious social distinction that lies in the background of this culture war between “conservatives” or “traditionalists” and “progressives,” namely the difference between prosocial and antisocial personalities.

One question that arises, then, is whether this distinction between prosocial and antisocial personalities maps onto the prevailing class differences between, say, men and women, and light- and dark-skinned peoples.

At any rate, when we think of social privileges and double standards, we might search for some such basis for the prevailing class inequalities...

In either case, there’s a double standard in societies which has little to do with gender or skin colour. But that double standard may nevertheless have all too real a foundation.
