"I want to note that a large portion of the prescriptions of neo-progressivism would quickly become chaotic if applied reciprocally. They are not advocated as universal or reciprocal, but as unilateral."

Absolutely. As T. Blood points out above, this would very quickly fall apart of other groups tried to use the same trick.

As you say, minority groups *do* need a degree of special attention because their problems, by definition, are not seen or widely understood by the majority. But there's a difference between listening carefully to somebody else's experience and accepting what they say uncritically because they happen to be a member of a particular group. The former is vital to productive discourse, the latter is fatal.
