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’

“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"

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

Having explored the Virtuous #Paedophiles forum’s culture of support, advice, and negotiations, we find that the stigmatised #paedophile character limits both the understanding of being a paedophile and the ability to remain virtuous.

"That's the way we love the #future
we want #homosexuality, #heterosexuality, #bissexuality, we gotta #mix it up!! That's why we all love each other. You all pures you'll die out anyway. You are outnumbered, cause we all here, and we ain't going anywhere....! Right on!" 

lyrics of the song:
"Will there be another race
To come along and take over for us?
Maybe martians could do better than we've done
We'll make great pets!"
