   It isn't clear quite where you get your paranoia from, as I've said, nor   
   why you are projecting such peculiar notions on other people. Is this   
   something that you find yourself doing often - or is it recent?   
      
      
      
   --   
     All persons are deemed to have a _right_ to equality of treatment,   
   except when some recognised social expediency requires the reverse. And   
   hence all social inequalities which have ceased to be considered   
   expedient, assume the character not of simple inexpediency, but of   
   injustice, and appear so tyrannical, that people are apt to wonder how   
   they ever could have been tolerated; forgetful that they themselves   
   perhaps tolerate other inequalities under an equally mistaken notion of   
   expediency, the correction of which would make that which they approve   
   seem quite as monstrous as what they have at last learnt to condemn. The   
   entire history of social improvement has been a series of transitions,   
   by which one custom or institution after another, from being a supposed   
   primary necessity of social existence, has passed into the rank of an   
   universally stigmatized injustice and tyranny. So it has been with the   
   distinctions of slaves and freemen, nobles and serfs, patricians and   
   plebeians; and so it will be, and in part already is, with the   
   aristocracies of colour, race, and sex. -- J.S.Mill Chapter V.
