Sheep

If tomorrow you suddenly removed all societal dictates you would soon start to see scatter graph patterns of human behaviour rather than bands of constraining rectangles. The reality is much of the way we live has been preordained through socialization which was then sold as being innate which is a perfect model if you want to ensure you have obedient sheep to tend to. Both the clergy and the royalty of Europe for example were in cahoots like this for millennia.

Today's cultural uncertainty does not suit the powers that be which explains the frantic pushback from the right of the political spectrum. Hence moral panics are created to get the majority of the sheep already in their pens to ostracize those trying to break out; the gender critical movement being one of the latest incarnations which is led by a deep lack of intelligence, empathy or common sense.

It would be predictably comical if it didn't quite so often lead to tragic results.
