I guess you consider Bryan Fischer’s discussions mainstream

Interesting

Why would you guess that?

I asked a pretty simple question, though, backed by a very valid point: What is considered public and private changes wildly, and is a cultural value. You’re saying that defying the public idea is pathological.

Does it work in reverse, too?

This is a roman toilet:

That’s not just the urinals, that’s also for taking a shit. It used to be fine to do in public. In our society, we’ve decided taking a piss in public is okay, but taking a shit needs some relative privacy. Why? I dunno. We just do. That’s where we put the arbitrary line.

Is all you’re saying is that people who violate public norms of behavior are automatically pathological?
