"Except that something is not arbitrary if a rationale has been provided"

If there is more than one possible rationale then it is arbitrary. Clearly societies are a hodge podge of differences. And every society has a particular self interest by which it emphasizes its uniqueness (and supposed superiority).

"In any case, I do not feel any particular need to prove to you anything,"

That almost sounded surly. Please try not to hurt my feelings. I am very sensitive to tone. Also...I am a part of society.
