You raise an interesting point. Our society forces heterosexuality as the normalicy. By ignoring variation in sexuality, society portrays it as immoral, deviant, unhealthy, etc.Meganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15444933438779638801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8723959842760460146.post-66758807535019205362011-02-21T13:13:42.746-07:002011-02-21T13:13:42.746-07:00The media and advertising perspective of Valentine...The media and advertising perspective of Valentines Day is also incredibly heterosexist. I know that's kinda obvious, but the HE wants to buy things for HER to make the night special thing implies that HE and HER is the only way that romantic relationships happen.

Classism. <br /><br />It's all so interconnected, and frustrating.Jo(anna)https://www.blogger.com/profile/03263149478046716282noreply@blogger.com
