Pamela Paul, known for her controversial op-eds at the New York Times, is leaving the Opinion section amid staff cuts. Her tenure was marked by a provocative style, where she frequently tackled issues of free speech, gender medicine, and broader social criticisms. Despite her claims of defending liberal values, critics argue her writing often leans toward nostalgia and triviality. Paul's perspective hinges on the idea that opinions should be weakly held, suggesting that more moderate viewpoints may contribute to stronger societal discourse.
"If people on the fringe are accusing me of 'making straw-man arguments' or 'both-siderism,' then I know that I've done something right."
