The Intercollegiate Review seems very special, as this John C. Wright essay on Heinlein and the scourge of political correctness demonstrates. Note that when Wright says

Orson Scott Card publicly expressed the mildest imaginable opposition to having judges overrule popular votes defining marriage in the traditional way.

he is probaly referring to this essay, in which OSC opines

Because when government is the enemy of marriage, then the people who are actually creating successful marriages have no choice but to change governments, by whatever means is made possible or necessary.

For people who give a damn about literature, yes, it's worth an eyebrow raise. Real-world kinks and fetishes and preferences are one thing, the kinds of tropes and stereotypes an author chooses to put in their work is quite another. In writing fiction, there are a limitless amount of choices for an author when conveying a character, idea, plot, etc. To choose something as old-fashioned, tired and Looney Tunes as "French maid who likes to be spanked" says a whole hell of a lot about the author, and absolutely nothing about real-life people who have that as a kink.
