I think CB and LB have answered the question. We are all entitled to our huffiness at perceived insults, and as the day is long we all have a certain bias towards or against policies, social conditions or politics that affect us.

IMO there are too few people who hold the opinion that posing questions is more important than self. As a result we are usually confronted with negative spontaneous reactionary indignation. If we were capable of the opposite we would all be more intelligent and able to further our understanding of life and the universe. Therefore I think some of the reaction to what Mr. Summers said was selfish and self serving and possibly an attempt to stop inquiry......but I could be wrong?

Why do you think some.......like Nancy Hopkins.......reacted as they did? What was/is the outrage all about?
