My main problem with that assessment of Cersei/Brienne (I don't care that much about whether it's accurate), is the line "... evidenced by the sword she carries."

Um. No, her whole entire life/career is the thing that 'evidences' that she "successfully broke gender traditions". Her sword might be symbolic of that, if you wanted to go there, but at least in the show it is not presented that way (unlike Dany's dragons which set her apart from the rest of the throne contenders). I know they're trying to write all clever'n'shit, and they tried it. But still. Ugh. Pet peeve.

Yeah, I thought that was dumb, too. Nothing's stopping Cersei from carrying a sword and going around in full armor, it still wouldn't mean she "successfully broke gender traditions" like Brienne, because Brienne's done more than just put on "manly" accessories.
