Overgeneralization. For example, some on the "right" want to curtail the
self-determination of women; one even thinks they should not be allowed to
vote. Or, businessmen should have freedom to do what they want regardless
of the effect on their employees or the environment.

Rather than "left" and "right", it seems to me to be more like "zealots"
and "pragmatists".

But we could argue for a long time about the details. And what "freedom" means.
We generally cannot do or say anything we want to without consequences.
