  2. The persistence of heteronormativity is not only due to the weight of social conventions and norms, but also to material conditions of existence: being in a couple means having more resources. Sophie Lewis asserts that the conditions of heterosexuality are inseparable from economic realities: ‘Most women are too overworked, too exhausted by the demands of capitalism and its culture of compulsory enjoyment to even have the opportunity to learn to love.’

    Sophie Lewis wrote ‘Abolish the Family: A Manifesto for Care and Liberation’

  3. “I simply do not see why the nation has to have an official sexuality, especially one that authorizes the norm of a violent gentility; that narrows the field of legitimate political action; that supports the amputation of personal complexity into categories of simple identity; that uses cruel and mundane strategies both to promote shame for non-normative populations and to deny them state, federal, and juridical supports because they are deemed morally incompetent to their own citizenship. This is the heterosexuality I repudiate.”

    ― Lauren Berlant, in "The Queen of America Goes to Washington City: Essays on Sex and Citizenship"

  4. Heterosexuality is a regime of political oppression 🧶

    "Just as racism produces race and not the other way round, sexism produces sex through the relationship of domination that reduces the dominated to things or natural objects."
    … said Natacha Chetcuti-Osorovitz summarizing Monique Wittig

  5. #Heterosexuality, #Homosexuality, #Bisexuality, #trans, non sexuality, haven't yet developed a sexuality or undecided, bio curious, etc, are all healthy ways to be. But, history is littered with the psycho babble of folk that had an irrational disposition \ view towards other people's sexuality. & of course, #religion hasn't been of much help

  6. Das ist ein wirklich tolles Buch über Heterosexualität als erstaunlich junges Konzept und warum gerade Frauen darin so investiert sind und wie das passiert (ist). Ich bin nicht ganz überzeugt vom Schlusskapitel, aber ich mag den Optimismus darin. Ward ist auch ein super Beispiel dafür, wie man über das Komplizentum von Frauen im Patriarchat schreiben kann ohne selbst ungerecht und misogyn zu werden. @bookstodon @lgbtqia #queer #heterosexuality

  7. A new American wildlife #documentary highlights the breadth of #sexuality in the #AnimalKingdom.

    And it shows how ubiquitous #bisexuality is – loads of creatures are heterosexual, plenty are #homosexual, but taken as a whole the idea that #heterosexuality is ‘normal’ or ‘natural’ is laughable.

  8. As someone coming into genuine, affirming, and embodied #heterosexuality later in life, I've given lots of thought as to what it actually IS and how it feels different from queerness or gayness.

    So #straight mastodon, what does being het feel like? What does being in a relationship with a very different/opposite gender feel like? What flavor does your chemistry come in?

    (The only wrong answer is "idk, I never questioned it". Give it THOUGHT!)

  9. „It is quite possible, for example, that children who are attuned to the tragedy of #heterosexuality, or who are keen observers of the misery wrought by heteropatriarchy in the lives of their parents or other significant adults, are oriented otherwise by a desire to avoid such suffering.“ — This is practically a description of how I became #queer (I hadn’t a word for it then & it took awhile till I found my people, but this is it.) I’m reading “The Tragedy of Heterosexuality” by Jane Ward.

  10. Since getting comfortable with locating myself firmly on the #aromantic & #asexual & #queer spectrum, I’m thinking a lot about compulsive #heterosexuality / #sexuality and compulsive #romanticlove as a model for intimacy and how women are taught through the Love myth to self-enforce patriarchal misogynistic patterns of behaviour. Ellie Anderson’s explanation of her concept of hermeneutical labor is really good at making clear how these mechanisms actually work.

  11. CW: Strugatsky Snail On The Slope possible spoilers 2/2

    This species looks to be the origins of the human background to #IainMBank's #TheCulture.And Homo Luden's approach to life looks eerily similar to the current common response to #Covid-19.

    "People have become carefree and reckless. They seem to have lost the instict of self preservation."

    Their thoughts on how #Individualism rests on #Heterosexuality are interestings goades to analysis.

  12. [OPINION] #Courage has no #gender: On the phrase ‘Minsan, mas lalaki pa sa lalaki ang bakla’, "Sometimes, a LGBTQ person can be more masculine than a straight man."

    While intended to highlight #Awra’s #bravery, this #line from the #song#Sirena” by #Filipino #rapper #Gloc9 inadvertently #perpetuates the #stereotype that #masculinity and #Heterosexuality represents an #ideal #standard.

  13. Dorothy Parker gave good quote - and this little gem is one I hadn't seen before.

    "Heterosexuality is not normal, it's just common."

    (womensart1 used the quote on Instagram, which is how I learned, very belatedly, of its existence.)
