One of today's biggest problem is caused by society trying to be fair to everybody.
Today nobody cannot be denied anything. Nothing, and that includes rights and rights and rights.
The act of balancing and 'making it fair and even for everybody' in itself changes the status que and denies someone else their 'birthrights'.
If you look at all the Acts of Parliament that have been created in the last thirty or forty or so years, ie, Equality, Discrimination, etc.
Although these have made many, such as women, perhaps, quite rightly, equal in all respects, and minorities, etc. They have also caused many problems and changes to how our society lived worked and played.
The Health and Safety at Work Act has saved many lives and injuries and created a safer environment to work in. But, how ridiculously it has got to, with some of its interpretations that prevent villages having pageants, sports days, etc. without an assessment, insurance, etc.
Village halls now can't cook breakfast, serve tea. They are not allowed to sing publicly without a license................. relentless restrictions to our society.
No doubt these acts have made life more just and fair for many people but they have caused an awful lot more problems that were not there before.
