Still, I can kind of sympathise with these guys, and their forerunners like Camille Paglia. It must be tough being a conservative or centrist liberal in such a setting. You can imagine how embattled and embittered you’d get. How sometimes your views would get distorted, your animus inflated, by the pressures of such a weight of opposing opinion and belief all around you, all the time. This sort of dynamic affects most minorities when they’re under-represented and fighting for redress.
