NBC News: Heterosexuality is not working

Posted by Orange Blossom Special on Mon Aug 26 11:54:59 2019

Over the past week, an assortment of trending stories — from Jeffrey Epstein to the Dayton and El Paso mass shooters, to Miley Cyrus’s separation and Julianne Hough’s declaration that she’s “not straight” — together have laid bare the strictures of an American patriarchy on the edge of a nervous breakdown. As the status quo, heterosexuality is just not working.

As a snapshot of 2019 America, these stories present a startling picture: Men continue to coerce, harass, rape and kill girls and women — and go to extreme lengths to avoid responsibility for their actions. On the other side of the issue, girls and women are challenging heterosexuality, and even absconding from it altogether.

Framed differently, the picture is this: Men need heterosexuality to maintain their societal dominance over women. Women, on the other hand, are increasingly realizing not only that they don’t need heterosexuality, but that it also is often the bedrock of their global oppression.

Heh; the Women's Media Center is one of the biggest centers of misandry on the planet.

Since the SPLC has been so disgraced, I guess it's time to try to normalize some other nutcase.

Not if you don't identify as one. It's as easy as that!

I wonder if it's too late for me to compete in high school sports as a woman like has been happening so often now.
