Interesting. I fit more the mold you’re describing myself, maybe I shouldn’t be so quick to dismiss him.

  You’ll disagree with him, I certainly do, but I wouldn’t dismiss him. I think he’s too utilitarian on family and marriage, but his position is intellectually defensible. For example, he’s pro gay marriage but believes research saying children have better outcomes with exposure to both sides of the (traditionally gender-based) parental roles. He doesn’t claim to know a solution to the latter, or even that one needs to be be found. Only that it should be researched and discussed. It’s not hard to take that kind of view and spin it to something abhorrent if you take away the nuance and context.
