I just think it's hard to tell whether a person is doing something because they think it is the One Right Thing or because they enjoy it. Yesterday I sat in a cafe wearing my sensible shoes, long-ish skirt, and no makeup, eating a vegetarian meal, and reading a book. I *could* have been secretly judging people who wear heels, trousers, makeup, short skirts... I *could* have been secretly judging people who eat meat or who don't like reading novels... But actually I was just wearing what I felt like wearing that morning, eating the food that looked tasty, and entertaining myself in a way I enjoy.
If someone straight-up tells me "You should do THIS it is the ONE TRUE WAY" then, yes, they are implying that my THAT is actually Wrong. But if someone is doing something different to me then maybe it's just that they like it that way and don't think any moral issue is at question.
(I *could* have been smugly sitting on top of a mountain judging all the people who prefer to spend their weekends sat on a sofa watching TV than doing Active Things; but I wasn't, I was just having fun)
