I see a definite connection between those dudebros on Aidan's post and Stella Duffy: namely, people getting uncomfortable, defensive, and mean when others bring up their privilege. I didn't see the Duffy situation, but the idea that some people think "intersectionality" and "cisgendered" are total bull is just… baffling. The terms, as you point out, Ana, are inherently neutral and point to real phenomena—the Venn diagrams of oppression that result in oppression specific to certain groups within larger groups and the reality of being female-bodied and female-gendered. That quote from Penny is one-hundred percent accurate.
