In principle you're right, and yet if you examine the world empirically you find that birds of a feather tend to flock together. It's such a truism they even coined a proverb to cover it. And I don't necessarily think there's anything wrong with that either, particularly for members of oppressed or minority groups.
- GeoAtreides 2y agoThe only thing we disagree is the number of feathers on birds. You see, I think people have more than one feather at the same time -- more than one attribute, characteristic, etc., at the same time. Identity is more than 'lesbian' or 'single geeky father' or 'gym bro' or 'nerd' or 'of model'. And even if it was, there is nothing in that identity that stops a friendship from forming with other people with different identities.
