I suppose it has something to do with the role binary oppositions play in
language, the unconscious, society, etc.

Why are you antagonistic toward the "spongy cult stud types"? Could
you explain the role they play in your life that makes you dislike them?
I too have disagreements with cult stud types, but I don't understand
the emotions they provoke in so many people, from Ralph Dumain to Alan Bloom...
