How dare you! Yeah. Also, culture as a whole, it seems - which has its positive aspects, too.

[Leo Gura]

Forums are actually under-utilized these days.

People who don't use forums are more conformist.

A good forum is a powerful tool that most people have no clue exists.

Heterosexuality

This is totally wrong. Biology is not conformity. I could never get aroused by looking at a naked man, yet I'm instantly horny when I see a naked woman. 

Sexual choice is a bad example of conformity, bro.

Nations

Wrong again. Without nations you have city states slaughtering eachother. Actually the notion of a nation is something extremely inteligent and something extremely smart that our ancestors have invented so that we are not slaughtered and enslaved by neighbouring tribes. 

I'd say all the other previous forms of governance that come before nationhood are conformity.

Only if there are no female animals around. That is the same thing that happens in prisons of male only inmates.
