To change subconscious attitudes it helps to make them salient and make people consciously aware of them.
In principle, I agree, but: 1) attempts to do that can backfire if done the wrong way, and 2) Ron Dreher is most likely not reading this thread anyway.
I basically agree with 1 and 2. That said, although Ron Dreher is not going to read this, odds are good that the number of people on this thread that would benefit from a more conscious less automatic process for choosing words with regards to making / not making gener salient is greater than 0.
Greater than zero is a weak claim, but I do think this kind of criticism adds value.
