    We all have different motivations, different beliefs and desires, different skills and preferences.

I understand that people's freedom and diversity ought not to be infringed on without compelling reason.

But what if some of these differences are such that within our social system they allow one group of people to lord over others, thus denying the oppressed full agency? Is that not a compelling reason to, at the very least, change the social system to be more fair, or if that proves unwise, to eradicate the differences?
