These things may have been the norm, but they were WRONG. Take the example of the Nazis and their institutionalized racism- the question that I posed was not whether it was a norm- but whether it was Right or Wrong, good or evil. In the case of the Nazis, their norms were definitely evil.
As with aesthetics- we are not asking whether or not people like something, but whether that somnething is good or bad. Just because someone likes something has no bearing on whether that something is good or bad.
