if you believe that “X is not an evolutionary adaptation” for too many X’s, you don’t believe in evolution
I don’t think that follows. First, the last few hundred thousand years are a tiny part of the evolutionary history of life, and second, you might believe that humans were selected for plasticity (e.g. by rapid climate changes) and so their behaviours nowadays are more due to nurture than to nature.
(But denying that “sexual desire was a reproductive adaption” does sound quite bad to me.)

Oh, definitely. You can make a scientifically respectable case for social justice -isms. But my professors in English and Sociology chose not to.
