Nobody is ever actually offended by science The people trying to get evolution banned from schools probably are. Some of the responses I saw to the Damore memo, seemed to boil down to that some things should not be said regardless of truthiness. Attempts to even look for differences in intelligence or I think personality by race tend to get shouted down rather quickly, because historically they've been used to justify some seriously nasty shit. The offence is manufactured to meet an end goal: the punishment of those who do not bow to the power of the ideology. I really don't think it's all that calculated. There are things that people want to believe, or feel it is necessary to believe, and they get upset if you tell them they're wrong (evolution), if you tell them they're only partly right (Damore), or sometimes if you even look like you might be thinking about questioning them (race).
