You shouldn't feel silly. The animosity towards Freud is completely understandable, and I think, pernicious. What people want to challenge is not Freud's crankery, but the destabilizing and widely accepted idea of a human subconscious. I see it most common in a certain kind of "rationalist" that doesn't want rational methods to extend to analyzing their own behavior.
