Great interview with Hanne Blank on her (wonderful) new book, "Straight: The Surprisingly Short History of Hetrosexuality"

saltmarshhag:

Just because something is constructed as a social category, doesn’t mean that it’s not enormously meaningful.  It doesn’t mean that we haven’t built a whole damn civilization on it. Doesn’t mean that we don’t live our daily lives on it, doesn’t mean that we don’t use it all the time every time we’re walking down the street.  This is real.  It’s stuff that has physical manifestations in the real world. But that does not mean that it is organic. 

ffffffffffuck yes

tumblr pay attention
