hemogoblin Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 The article you tackled has my blood boiling, and I didn't even read it! Very grateful to have your takedown and get to avoid such a piece of misogynistic, alloheteronormative drivel. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaviM703 Posted February 8 Author Share Posted February 8 The number of articles like that compared to how few there are criticizing them made me feel the need to do something. Glad you didn't have to read that article, I only read that crap to inform my activism goals and criticize it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AromanticAardvark Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 Amazing article, and thank you so much for being willing to write about these things! We as a community def need more visibility about amatonormativity so people can stop perpetuating it (and the example you showed in the first part of the article had me seeing red. Your friendships shouldn't define your relationships, and vice versa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AroCounselor Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 I really like your article for a whole bunch of reasons. I'm glad you pointed out that therapist's use of "converted"! That gave me the creepy-crawlies. A romantic relationship isn't "more worthy" than any other human connection--and I think there are a lot of people out there whose romantic relationships are less healthy than their long-term friendships. Society needs to unpack amatonormativity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holmbo Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 Great article! I like that you brought up the argument that pansexuals could have no friendships if they could not be friends with the gender they're sexually attracted to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
