I'm usually suspicious of anything that blames the mistakes or idiosyncrasies of a small group of people in a single place (especially if they are hormonal teenagers) on a specific movement.

I would contend that localized trouble has a lot more to do with localized problems. A journalist who is looking for the problem effecting a specific community in, say, the feminist movement, the Catholic church or modern psychology is almost always missing the obvious right in front of their nose.

Were we talking about pervasive problems across the nation, I would see more value in looking for causes in national politics or movements.

This is all just my opinion, although I think it to be a rather measured and thoughtful one.
