“If You Know Someone Who Doesn’t Believe Sexism Exists, Show Them This”

“Listen, honey, we don’t come alive again until December, and I am going to be ready. Girl, you know I love but three things in this world: Christmas, being a supernatural mannequin who comes to life once a year and is permitted to walk the earth and experience human life for a period of 24 hours, and SASSIN’ IT UP.”
Heteronormativity isn’t just about the presumption that everyone is heterosexual. The expectation that boys woo girls feeds into your mind the expectation that relationships are necessary for fulfilment, and you are less than if you are not having particular kinds of sex with a particular, and a particular kind of, person at particular intervals. It’s about what Lauren Berlant calls the love plot, in which love is produced as a generic text enabling society to interpret your life as following certain conventions. It’s not about what you want, it’s about what you’re supposed to want. You’re not encouraged to think about what you want in relationships, if anything, so much as you are encouraged to fit a script. Heteronormativity messes things up for everyone, straight people included.

I think we can all recognize that the “it’s a joke excuse” is the most dismissive, self-righteous loophole, created by those who refuse to examine their power, and assume they have not only the right to say whatever they want to people, but the right to control how other people react to what they have said.
