They use primarily demographic, cultural and evolutionary arguments to make their cases without any fundamental philosophic input or thorough explainatory methodology. It's in some ways I suppose the Attila to the traditionalists witchdoctor, but since it uses evolutionary psychology for explainations it will in some cases make sense.

After Taranto commented, I went back and re-read his article and came away with the same impression: that those two sentences contrasting individual vs. "collective" rights were the absolute crux of his argument and were incredibly revealing.
