English term or phrase: the abrasiveness

the abrasiveness of forthright opinion

Here is the context:
Such a view of the world made for the abrasiveness of forthright opinion, an irritability with perceived wrong-doing and a tendency towards self-righteousness; and this explosive mix led inescapably to a quarrelsome temperament.

Thanks in advance

/عرض الراء الصريحة على نحو سافر/التصريح بالآراء على نحو سافر/السفور في التعبير عن الرأى

Explanation:
Sure we all agree that abrasiveness is a noun and the adjective is abrasive which means rude,unpleasant and harsh etc.
Such are the literal meanings in a dictionary.
But "abrasiveness" in this context is far away from "rudeness and harshness" ..so
I think a translation for "abrasiveness in this context can be

السفور /على نحو سافر
especially that the text is highly academic and sophisticated

the phrase is abrasiveness of forthright opinion-

forthright opinion refers to an opinion that is straight to the point with no cosmetic coverings بدون رتوش hence, abrasiveness from abrasive كاشط meaning characteristic of an abrading action = كشط
