Why not call it social engineering?
Because it's based on Marxist ideas revolving around the Strain Theory. Basically taking raw data at face value and trying to create political divides. The underlying hope of these people is equality of outcome.

if you want a good discussion topic for Strain Theory as it applies to marginalized groups away from the typical "black people commit crime at higher rates than other races" stuff, you can look at how homosexual relationships have higher rates of domestic abuse than the damn hets
we have a set of data that provides pretty objective evidence of different behavior rates from different groups. in order to maintain support of the marginalized group that is exhibiting more pathological behavior, we can't discuss issues of the group itself and have to look to larger societal institutions/pressures to explain the difference
in this case, homosexual relationships produce more pathological outcomes within the realm of domestic abuse. now it would be wrong to see if perhaps the relationships themselves may cause this, because homosexuals are a marginalized group. studying that would be harmful. so we have to create something else that produces these unequal outcomes...and the easiest is some vague societal issue or institution that can't really be defined because that's not "mean" and further reflects poorly on the dominant (for creating that system that leads to the pathological outcome)
