one thing I noticed of BPers, feminists and SJWs is that they are mostly humanities majors and I include in the category soft sciences like sociology as well. they seem to have a strong convinction in the power of social engineering to radically change human nature. pretty much like communists believed to be able to create a new man caring more for society at large than for himself and their experiment turned out to be either a failure or at least below their expectations. personally I attribute this mindset to their non strictly scientific education that makes them detached from hard facts and more slanted to blind faith in ideology.
