Not a book Ben, but if you haven't already heard Jon Ronsons's audio "origin stories of the culture wars" in a BBC series Things Fell Apart [1], I'd heartily recommend it. He says basically what you're saying, and traces the lineage of exasperating _bad_ ideas that won't just gracefully die (which is a theme in lots of his writing).

Jon Ronson is a very clever man and we don't see enough of him these days. I'll listen to that.
