The question Would you still love me if I was a worm ? that a lot of girls and women ask their boyfriend/husband is just Would you still love me if I was not/wouldn't serve you? If I couldn't do all the free labour that I'm giving to you, would you still love me? Meaning Do you love me or do you love what I do for you?

I will never understand the hatred and disdain of someone women have towards the hobbies that their partner has.

That's the fucking point of a hobby, to waste time in something you are passionate about and de-stress!!!!

Straight couples always consist of a queen and the dog shit she scraped off her thrifted designer kitten heels.

I’m so sick of this straight coded world. I’m not straight. I hate when they can’t portray a real gay or otherwise non straight relationship without just queerbaiting.

You know what would be really interesting? To see any of the biggest filmmakers try portraying the friendship between a straight man and a straight woman without ANY STRAIGHT BAITING AT ALL. I’d like to see them try! And not a gay man and a straight woman or a gay woman and a straight man. A STRAIGHT WOMAN AND A STRAIGHT MAN HAVING NOTHING BUT PURE FRIENDSHIP BETWEEN THEM. I doubt they could pull it off without anyone wanting them to be together romantically or sexually.

I judge how healthy a hetero relationship must be by questioning how willing the guy would be to let his girl peg him and vice versa how willing she would be to peg

I’m thinking about Wicked tonight, specifically why Elphaba ends up with Fiyero instead of Glinda in the musical despite Elphaba and Glinda having the more well-rounded relationship.

You could chalk it up to the writers wanting a heteronormative ending (and I’m certain that’s part of it) or the fact that Elphaba and Fiyero had a love affair in the book. But I think there’s a bit more nuance to it.

The whole point of Glinda’s character is that she upholds the status quo of Oz. No matter how much she loves Elphaba or sympathizes with the plight of the Animals, she will always align herself with the current system and those in power. And as long as that remains the case, a relationship between her and Elphaba is futile because Elphaba will not give up her cause.

Elphaba and Glinda represent to different ends of a spectrum. Elphaba resists the oppressive forces in Oz, while Glinda upholds them. But Fiyero is somewhere in the middle. He starts out privileged and carefree like Glinda, but quickly turns to Elphaba’s side. He does become Captain of the Guard, but only to find Elphaba and help her evade arrest.

And therein lies the difference between Glinda and Fiyero as love interests to Elphaba. Glinda would never sacrifice her title as “the Good Witch” and all her power granted from the Wizard, even if it meant helping Elphaba. Fiyero, on the other hand, does give up his privilege, his title, and even his human form for Elphaba. Glinda clings to what the status quo gives her, while Fiyero ultimately rejects it.

Yes, the writing around Elphaba and Fiyero’s romance is a bit rushed and doesn’t have the same gradual development that Elphaba and Glinda have. And yes, I have no doubt heteronormativity played a role in giving Elphaba a male love interest in the end. But I see a lot of people write off Fiyero and his relationship with Elphaba and I just don’t agree.

Why does Elphaba end up with Fiyero instead of Glinda? Because Fiyero makes the sacrifices that Glinda wasn’t willing to.

Okay, so there's 2 straight folx in the coffee shop patio table next to me. I am desperately trying not to listen, but the guy is LOUD. Their group meet-up has turned into a one on one clearly that's become a date vibe. And I am trying to control the urge to say dude, if you want to go out with her, shut up and listen to her stories. He just told her he understood her culture because he googled it. Now I am controlling the urge to say to the woman, please don't agree to go on an official date with this guy, who responded to your vulnerable mental health sharing with, oh are you [insert mental health diagnosis which he also googled.] OH, thank the coffeehouse gods, they are going inside so I no longer have to attempt to wrestle my brain away from this train wreck.
