heteronormativity is brain rot. the fact that it took me until the s3 break up scene in hannibal to realize that they were in love with each other is a prime example of what queerbaiting shows like sherlock & supernatural (except in spanish) have done to me

Thoughts about those weird het marriage custom things

You know, where the groom is ruining his life, and giving up everything and poor him being dragged to the altar? That kind of shit?

Here’s what I don’t get. Where the fuck is he getting off complaining about that at all? Shouldn’t the woman be the one all wait, wtf? Where am I coming from?

Even now, in this supposedly enlightened age, women still take on the majority of the household work. They’re expected to work, have kids, be the primary caregiver for the kids while the dad “babysits” sometimes. Equality in sharing chores is seen as like 80/20. Men have man caves and men’s nights and women are supposed to be delighted with a clean house and making a full home cooked meal after working 40 hours. It’s still assumed a woman will be sexually available whenever her husband wants, and if she’s not she’s cold and a prude who is a shrew holding out to get him to do her work around the house.

Why are men complaining and pretending like marriage is ruining their lives and trapping them when they’re gaining everything back that they expected/assumed their moms would do for years.

Woman are the one that society is shackling with the expectation of being parent, maid, housekeeper, cook, chauffeur, sexual toy, hostess... the list goes on and on, and yet men are the ones that play these games when they get married with poor children not old enough to read carrying signs that say “last chance to run, here she comes”, and whining about their freedom being taken and how they’re now shackled to a woman who society will damn for not being all of the above plus some while he hides in his man cave. 

WTF is just wrong with people?

And yes, I know. Not all men blah blah blah. This is about the societal expectations, and the image heterosexual couples present through these types of “silly” displays that are really demeaning and degrading to woman, and it’s images their nieces and daughters and cousins see that tell them it’s okay and cute to be degrade by a man so long as he says i love you. We should want more than that for ourselves, for men, for the next generations. This is just still so damn prevalent and it’s gross.

An important blog post from a friend of mine concerning her parter's birth. It's important because it shows the damage heteronormativity can do.

Commercials are bullshit

The only commercial I hate more than EVERY SINGLE commercial wherein food talks and is eaten (especially the new taco shell ones because sex and talking food we eat), is the new VW commercial. So their cars are good for having unprotected sex in and popping out babies. Yeah, no.

The parenting class I'm sitting in for my free period is so cisnormative and heteronormative I can't deal with it

[eevachu]

Sometimes I wonder if I am just bored with the idea of heterosexuality because I have seen so much of it that heteronormativity is just so mind-numbingly dull it me. Like I see it everywhere, and everyone is doing it and I'm just like wow this is lame. I'm so sick of it. Like you know when people are all into a popular song and you're just like NO BAD ICK EARWORM UGHHHHH. I am a female adventurer, ain't no props given for walking up a hill every bitch been on, gurl gotta go climb her a couple mountains. By mountains I mean boobs. Two of them. Breasts. I like ladies because they're interesting, challenging and new is what I'm trying to say. Tits.
