    Some skills may be more common than others, but their distribution throughout the population is not the same as their occurrence within any natural ranking relative one to another.

        There is no natural distribution of any social role. A distribution is determined socially.

        Further, I already addressed your conflation of occurrence within a population for a skill versus its intrinsic attributes.

            Nature is that which occurs independent from the particular intentions of individuals or the particular configuration of society.

            Human societies occur within nature. We utilize and transform facets of nature toward our needs and ends. That which we create or produce is not natural.

            In various societies, members tend to express different behaviors, are subjected to different experiences, and have different roles and relationships.

            At any rate, the distinction is not required in the immediate context. I am now repeating for the third time that the distribution of an item or class of item within a system is not the same as its intrinsic attributes.

                I invoked the term originally, and later clarified the meaning, which is not in my experience controversial.

                How do you understand nature?

                  You did not answer my question. You gave a definition of natural. Please explain why you get to define it.

                    As explained, I clarified the sense for which I invoked the term.

                    Beyond seeking such an answer, your question is not particularly coherent. No right is being asserted.
