(41,976 posts)I just rolled my eyes at it. She would have been better off talking about heteronormativity, as apposed to heterosexuality. Because assigning a sexual orientation to anyone is just bullshit. That "all heterosexual sex is rape" is an old and tired trope. I was hoping the whole thing would go away, but I suspected not, given the potential for trouble making it has.
I keep a copy of Solanas manifesto at my bedside; it's excellent therapy for when I read about yet another crappy comment about women; rape, violence, reproductive rights, inequities in any number of areas or of the feminists who constantly fight this shit. I love the dark irony of it--- the complete turn around of traditional gender criticism. Although it's becoming dated, It's still hilarious.
