Amatonormativity and Non-Traditional Relationships
from Figuring Out Hosted by Figuring Out
In this week's episode, we talk about amatonormativity, defined by Dr. Elizabeth Brake as the "the widespread assumption that everyone is better off in an exclusive, romantic, long-term coupled relationship, and that everyone is seeking such a relationship.” We talk about the platonic/romantic divide, aro/ace identity, polyamory, alternative forms of relationship building, and the ways that such expectations might ultimately prevent us from having generative conversations around the various ways we can find fulfillment in our connections.
