Part of the problem is that historically intolerance has been defined as "opposition to openness" and indeed historically most human societies were too closed.
Any hope of easy classification crumbles when you consider that a society can be too open (there are actual group that want to include age as a form of protected self expression, with significant consequences on the legality of various actions).
At this point is it being intolerant if you do not tolerate treating a 30 years old person as 8 years old in matters of law?
