I liked my husband's response to what both Aaronson and Penny had said. I think there's a lot of nuance here that we ignore at our peril -- Aaronson's follow-up indicates that he understands now that privilege is a magic word he has to use in order to keep people from yelling him and that, while possibly true, isn't the robust understanding of social injustice that all the people yelling at him want -- and I think Andrew covers more of it than I've seen elsewhere.
