Go through the response and see how many times Cheit, the author of the article in the OP is refereed to as a white, a male, and/or straight; in a derogatory sense of course. This is a shining example of how identity politics has overtaken any sort of political discussion here in the US. What matters the most is not well reasoned and put together an argument is but who is saying it. Your position on the privilege hierarchy determines how deserving you of being listened to in good faith.
