IMHO, these types of people (referring to ultramarina's description of her DD above) are an important part of society because they are the whistle-blowers (when needed), strike leaders, people who have the guts to go up against things that might be legal but are morally wrong (for example, slavery).

Oh, indeed. In fact, I think my DD has the potential to do some truly amazing things in the world. My god, she has grit, and fire. But she can be hell on wheels to parent. I wouldn't necessarily say she is big on "order"...nor is she "conservative." But fairness and accuracy and justice--oh my, yes. She has been highly aware of sexism since she was probably two.
