I agree that pluralism is the only possible way forward. I know someone who devoutly believes that every piece should be inclusive and fair to everyone. Sadly, with each attempt she makes to produce even a single piece of work that fulfils that criteria she demonstrates how impossible that would be to do even once. Every piece is going to give some people a longer straw and some a short straw, all that is needed is to ensure different types of folk get the long straw in turn. That isn't actually all that hard and we are almost there I would say.
