        I have recently heard of 'womanface' and the 'cotton ceiling.' We have complicated concepts being adopted & adapted all over the place.

        And they simply can't be applied consistently because the underlying premise of SocJus is not based on principles but on identity & power.

        So an argument or analogy made for the ethical treatment of one group won't work if transposed to another. Yet, people keep trying.

        This is what would happen if SocJus ruled society. The rules would grow ever more complicated & change daily.

        We really do need simpler but consistent principles & like @IonaItalia, I think they should be prioritise care/harm foundations.

        I don't agree. I don't think that because we have all of these foundations underlying our morality, it means they are all equally valuable.

        That seems to me like the naturalistic fallacy. It means that we need to understand them to reduce misunderstanding & accommodate them.

        But we can & should work out between us which of them to base society on & which to understand & make accommodation for in individual lives

        Sanctity/degradation, in particular, seems to me like something it's useful to understand in ourselves for the purpose of overcoming it.

        'Yes, I feel disgusted by this but does that make it morally wrong? Can I justify making laws around it using anything but my intuitions?'

        It might not make one racist, but it's still a terrible comparison
