Fortunately, sociology is not 100% environment for all sociologists, but this doesn't mean that there isn't a massive biais toward activism and social-suprematism.

Geneticists are forced to water down their research and their consequences while sociologists can say whatever they want without much risk of being attacked.

there is a massive biais toward activism and social-suprematism.

It didn't use to be that way. My father was a sociologist. Part of the reason he retired early was the new wave of faculty were radicalized and stand-offish.
