Steven Stoft: microaggressions vs. mega-aggression is apt. And I agree with you on the author's assertion of conformity then and now. There's no doubt some overlap because we humans are social creatures, thus primed for conformity. The differences in social and technological circumstances are only one reason why these movements aren't the same, however. Among other considerations is the fact that universities are endorsing many of the "radical" demands of students and faculty.
