I think there's a tendency to overreact, in such matters.
Of course, it doesn't surprise me at all, because we have exactly the same technique of shaming people into silence at play all over the world. Every group is using it. I would even suggest that it has been a strong factor in the Brexit decision: people have been scared and threatened by legal and cutural punitive reaction if they dare to object to the changing ethnicity of their own neighbourhoods. When it becomes a "crime" to voice your disapproval at the construction of a "church" devoted to an alien religion being built just behind your residence, then you become tarred and feathered by accusations of bigotry and racism. When you realise that the higher birth-rates of some immigrant communities outstrip those of your own, that it needs no revolution or civil war for your "tribe" to become outnumbered and, thus, democratically lose its position perfectly legally through the ballot box, you must be crazy not to sit up and take note of what's going down worldwide. The death of Europe as we knew it?
When you state that you believe that children brought up in single-sex relationships cannot possibly grow up unaffected by that unusual and - to many - unnatural relationship, you will again be pilloried for being insane or, at least, just reactionary or whatever else it may suit the rabid proponents of such "civil rights" to brand you.
It's called political correctness, and from the start, it has been a curse flying in the face or reality and common sense.
Far from preserving or defending women, it has objectified them far more than have the forces supposedly the traditional culprits. Was a time - perhaps I just knew a better class of women - when women could get pretty much anything they wanted out of life simply by being women and using their natural abilities to be homemakers and nourish family and affection through example. It was a far happier time when kids, younger ones especially, could go home from school to a welcoming family environment. With the increased cost of living, largely caused by the double-income ethic, in my opinion, causing higher prices to be possible, women now find themselves obliged to be out working at something just in order to survive or help the family unit to survive financially, if not spiritually. That has led to the permanent quandry: how much education should a woman have, how many years of her life should she spend in university if, when she starts to work, her life becomes a choice between career and children? That's a stress level that I, as a male, would hate to have had to face!
I believe that if a female student shows the aptitude, and many show far more aptitude in school than do their male counterparts, no career choice should be closed to her, But, at the same tiome, I do not believe that any special concessions should be available either. If you want to join in the race, then you better be able to run on your own. It's simple, and it's fair: you should be doing what you are capable of doing without artificial assistance which then become unfair to the rest of the runners. It's just doping under another guise.
And as with pretty much everything else that's amiss in this world, you can bring it down to greed and the desire to have more and more of more and more useless, shiny crap. The myth of perpetual growth is madness: it can only lead to explosion.
