One of my fav social experiments:
Asch conformity experiments
Demonstrating the power of one person speaking up and making a fuss. Groups need the impulsive individuals to keep them honest. This is why I speak up and talk back.
If you don't, it's very possible that no one else will.
If you do speak, it's very likely somebody else will stand up, too.
Sometimes you have to have courage because others don't.

Group Conformity
Um
Um, I mean... REALLY??? WTF?
One of the toughest things to find when you're going to an SF/F art show looking for art that features tough female heroines is finding tough female heroines who are actually wearing clothes and looking like physcially tough female heroines. You know, the sorts of heroines whose outfits don't make you burst out laughing.
Sigh.
