Female heterosexuality is a set of social institutions and practices... Those definitions... are about the oppression and exploitation of women by men.

  • The models we have, and the standards we are expected to maintain, come to us via heterosexuality as a normative state. Heterosexuality--whatever the current version of that concept happens to be--is unremarkable because it is the standard by which everything else is measured. That is heterosexual privilege.
