I agree with Crenshaw's use of the term. I think it misleading to paint it as an ideology invading humanities departments. I think social justice and identity politics ought not be used as derisive descriptions--and that being unreasonable and irrational are different things.
We do have to address problems & argue about them. You can call it hostility but, in reality, it is by vigorous debate that we make progress. This is becoming a narrow, moralistic orthodoxy & it's increasingly difficult to address it w/out being no-platformed, threatened or fired

I wouldn't complain at all if 'my opponents' did what I do. Made arguments which could be engaged with. I will just do that. It's a problem when censorship, threats, firing, accusations of verbal violence etc happen. And I defend the university.https://areomagazine.com/2018/03/23/a-principled-defense-of-the-university/ …
