tired of marriage being the only lens or state pairings can achieve at the height of their relationships

#like. its so ingrained with heteronormativity and thus racial normativity #its a site of domination for women #and its a piece of shit in disqualifying ppl from benefits. the whole medical industrial complex #queer struggles in the past have been centered around achieving equal legal rights and gaining the same platforms as cishets and their oppre #ssors but. thats superficial. its symptomatic work. its only a single-oppression framework #that fails to integrate race and class and gender #highlighting different ways of being in the form of sexuality and its general fluidity is ofc good but its not enough. #being effective requires an dynamic intersectional approach #so one must study heteronormativity as key constructs in informing gender normativity and class normativity and race normativity #gender is p obvious. for class consider how propertyless women often only accrue social class when they marry a guy and just as easily lose #property when widowed or divorced #social class is not the same as socioeconomic status btw #the strong man/weak woman is key for white racial constructs. which ofc gets imposed on bipoc folx and falls terribly flat #and results in cultural genocide/forceful assimilation/demonization & dehumanization/and the general colonial/imperial repertoire #soy talks shit
