Some people have such simplistic minds that they believe to recognize the problems of men somehow invalidates the problems of women. According to their dogma, all politics (and society) is a zero-sum struggle between groups. There's only so much wealth/freedom/happiness/culture to go around. If someone gets more it's because they took it from you.
It's rank idiocy, but nothing really new. Extreme politics attracts troubled and irrational people. What's new is university administrations caving in to the zealots. It probably won't stop until so many professors, administrators, journalists, novelists, etc. have been burned at the stake for their impieties that the rest realize they can't just cover their ears and avoid trouble.
Liberalism is under ferocious assault. But I believe it's robust and resilient enough that it will survive. The only question is how much damage our institutions will sustain before the storm abates.
