Not a great bit of writing. But sure, it's certainly true that people above the age of 35 who grew up thinking of themselves as liberal/left wing are going to have some discomfort with young progressives and their obsessions with safety and minority issues over phenomena with more bulk impact such as the core feminist battle, which is far from won.

It’s damn hard to be supportive of a public governing philosophy that you have been fighting against for decades even if you might agree with where they might be on left-right moral axis on big topics.
