"Normal" also = cis, ablebodied - but you knew this. Now I'll preach to the other choir XD;
The kids thing...yeah. I look like a kid albeit with grey hairs. What's hilarious is when I get this: "OMG! You don't have kids?" "No." "Why?" "Well, not with a guy, and my disability might make having kids awkward." "Oh, then you should never ever have kids if you're disabled, because *stupid failure at Darwin*" "I'll give that the consideration it warrants."
People are special.
And your summary of why the hell women get misogynist is, I think, spot on. I suspect that white women (of which yrs. trly. is one) will round on, fingerwaggle at, and condescend to less privileged women and fail at intersectionality for the same reasons: society says YA GOTTA STEP ON SOMEONE!
