#euronormativity

Re the anon asking about a word meaning the presumption of western/European culture being the norm, I think 'Eurocentricism' is the word usually used. Euronormativity works but it does sound a bit like it's riffing off heteronormativity when they're very, very different issues that work in very different and not really comparable ways.

That’s a good point about Euronormativity riffing off of heteronormativity.

Is Eurocentricism the same thing? Might not be, but that's always what I've seen used. :)

I suspect it might be the same thing tbh.

i've heard the word "eurocentrism" before, is that maybe what you are looking for?

yeah I think that might be a better fit tbh.

Is there a word for white culture being treated as the norm? If not, I hereby propose "Euronormativity."

Followers? Is there a word? and if not I think this one sounds great
