Am I Evil? Yes I am... A Critical Analysis of Heteronormativity
WESLEY JOHNSON I’m not here to talk about the slow downfall of Metallica’s albums, and like this song, the idea is not my own. It’s been done before and written about before. I’m not here to talk about music at all, I'm here to talk about the evil concept of the heteronormative system. However, just like music.. heteronormativity is another one of the patriarchy's greatest hits. This is my experience growing up around heteronormativity. From a young age, we are taught how to walk, talk, act, dress and behave. We are taught manners, “yes thank you, no thank you and please”. We are taught right from wrong, and we are even taught morals. But, most of all.. we are taught from a young age how to perform our gender and what is normal. First, I will talk about binary concepts introduced to children from a young age, how that progresses, and finish with the Modernization of The Cog in the Machine.. in this case, the machine is heteronormativity.
