Exactly!! If the goal is to fight against entrenched assumptions from past ideology which has caused injustice etc. then most postmodernism is utter failure. The part that has made some worthy progress is pretty much the same as the part that isn't absorbed entirely in the world of postmodern thought.
Here's a simple analogy: I am a teacher. My student is failing to learn something. There may be several factors in play, but the first thing I should do is check if I could do better as a teacher. Postmodern academics have mostly failed to be truly sensitive to how their ideas are coming across to others at all, so they aren't even at the point where they could figure out if they need to revamp their teaching approach.
