And few thinkers have caused our civilization to decline as much as Alfred Kinsey, ye of the fraudulent sex studies that used the moral mores of convicts to publish a tome to legitimize perversion: 10% of prisoners admit to homosexual sex encounters; therefore, 10% of the population is gay. We're not talking about a sophisticated thinker here. We're talking about an outright fraud, whose statistics and statements are still believed (e.g., you can still find morons who think the Vatican has a huge porn collection, because Kinsey once said it did . . . even though he just said it flippantly).

Anyway, with the foregoing in mind, I greatly enjoyed this quote from Joseph Epstein's Essays in Biography about Kinsey: "Like anyone beyond a certain age who is preoccupied with sex, he became a creep; the wife of one former student described him as 'a dirty old man.'"
