Here is an article regarding Russell, https://www.catholic.com/magazine/online-edition/ayaan-hirsi-ali-and-negative-apologetics

It addresses the negative stain, the Graham’s test, in morality. Your article was compelling. The structure is expository while you present a synthesis. The content and thought you presented makes for a lift to a larger chart. My expectation is that you dove deep to present such a refined essay.

My first thought was to make a wry comment about your failure to understand Jungian based sex education for very young children under the Machiavellian CRT rules of public schools with transgendered bathrooms. But banal humor has no place under the gravity of the loss that is propagated by the error in the new normal ethics and the virtue signaling of the morally blind.

That grave loss is the loss of souls. There is nothing of more grave concern than this peril. When Russell wrote his piece the majority of landlords would have refused to rent to the unmarried couple he applauded. To object on such grounds, today, might land you in the gulag, be cause of your cancellation and agency to deny credit for your ESG rating.

The slope, whether claimed to be slippery or not, is that steep. But the gravity of the loss of souls makes the climb urgent. Keep digging in your cleats and moving vertical to that new domain where you lift your readers.
