Substitute “political incorrectness” in for “the sins of sensuality” (in the previous blog) to get a flavor of one of the many atrocities that Menninger was unconsciously hoping to avoid: Sexual injustice is a crime only if it is politically incorrect – or worse – involves a person deemed “politically incorrect”.

Perhaps, Portnoy (of Portnoy’s Complaint) was not the poster-child of modernism in this regard.

Can you imagine who might be?
