I wondered whether you felt liberated to talk about rough sex because the song exists outside of a sort of heteronormative framework.

Whether a couple makes it to “I do” at all depends on what brings each man and woman in this heteronormative marriage market together in the first place, which is truthful communication.

It says a lot about the staid state of masculinity that men want the same heteronormative version of handsome that has defined male beauty standards for years.

According to Afsaneh Najmabadi in “Women with Mustaches and Men without Beards,” the introduction of heteronormative standards from globally dominant Europe ensured that a woman’s mustache, which made them look like Europe's idea of a man, was by 1920 "in danger of becoming a sign of pastness, of out-of-dateness and was beginning to mark the figure against which Iranian modern woman was defining herself, the so-called traditional old-fashioned woman."

"There's such an imbalance. How many films do we need to make about - and I can say this as a half-white man - privileged, white, middle-class, cis, heteronormative men? Do we need any more of those? No, we don't."
