There is no problem in and of itself that sociology might bring awareness to those issues. But when you have entire majors, for example gender studies, being completely dominated not even by liberals, but straight up Marxists and other radicals you can't be completely surprised that political biases are passed off as foundational assumptions of the field of study. Huge swaths of academia and its scholarship are likely contaminated by these biases.


You're talking about extremely small sub-fields of small fields, most of which by their very nature tend to be subjective and therefore should be taken subjectively.

Thinking liberal biases are contaminating academia as a whole when it's largely composed of engineering, science, and mathematics is pretty silly.

At best, you are taking a very small proportion of people that nobody takes seriously to begin with, and pretending that it's endemic among academia as a whole.
