The Invention of 'heterosexuality' [Fake Science]
BBC ^ | 3/16/17 | Brandon Ambrosino

Posted on 03/23/2017 7:51:13 AM PDT by SoFloFreeper

....heterosexuality has not always “just been there.” And there’s no reason to imagine it will always be....

.....rebuttal to the claim that heterosexuality was invented usually involves an appeal to reproduction: it seems obvious that different-genital intercourse has existed for as long as humans have been around – indeed, we wouldn’t have survived this long without it. But this rebuttal assumes that heterosexuality is the same thing as reproductive intercourse. It isn’t. “Sex has no history,” writes queer theorist David Halperin at the University of Michigan, because it’s “grounded in the functioning of the body.” Sexuality, on the other hand, precisely because it’s a “cultural production,” does have a history. In other words, while sex is something that appears hardwired...

I need to share this in the FR community...a living story if you will...one passed down through oral history in my family. My great ancestors admitted that “they settled on heterosexuality,” in order to one day in the future, “oppress those who might be against heterosexuals.” They claimed a natural attraction to members of the opposite sex—at first it was for convenience, but then they discovered that they could produce offspring who would one day produce future generations. It’s silly and antiquated reasoning to be sure, but that’s the truth.

2% of the population is not prevalence, nor normal. It is an aberration. Test or not, this over-inflated sense of prevalence via media is NOT normal, nor natural in the sense of prevalent development. No way, no how.

That is just plain crazy. What they are saying is that they could, over generations, pervert the natural inclinations of their progeny by pure dominance it seems (i.e., brainwashing).

I've seen the patent. It reads:

So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. The accompanying diagrams are NSFW.

Things have really gone downhill since it was somehow decided to give equal time and credibility to the blatantly ignorant, insane, and stupid among us. They're like movie zombies, except they're alive and instead of eating brains they just work to infect the world's cortex. Problem is, lots of them have been elected into office and hired into teaching positions. Those need to die off, with a shove if necessary.

You would think insanity has to peak at some point. The world can only handle so much psychosis. The dam has to burst eventually.

I’m just worried about how long it takes and how bad it gets before that happens.

Sex, sexual, sexuality, sex acts, by the very terminology apply to the division of all advanced species of life into two sexes. This article is not dealing with a scientific argument, but with a demonstrably idiotic word game, offered up by people who have degenerated into a living satire.

Let me put it more simply. If one understands the functional concept of sexuality; one understands that heterosexuality is simply redundant. All sexuality involves male & female. This is not refuted by some male dogs seeking to relieve their unrequited, male sex part related condition, by rubbing up against a tree. That does not change the natural purpose of the parts involved, anymore than chewing gum changes the natural purpose of teeth and jaws.

Most homosexuals were sexually molested as children.

They seek to normalize their behavior to attain easier access to sexually molest YOUR children.

And before we hear them argue that homosexual behavior exists in nature as a defense, please permit me to point out that so does feces-flinging, vomit and young-eating and a whole host of aberrant behaviors.

Homosexual behavior, where it occurs in nature, like in prison, is used to abuse and humiliate, to establish dominance. Of course, some people enjoy being abused.

The author, and the authors he quotes are horribly intellectually dishonest.

Something does not just come into existence ONLY because some academic, intellectual, writer or even the law gives it a name - like “heterosexual”. Being “heterosexual” with or without it being named, as such, was “the norm” without question, as far back as humans have been around, and the fact that there were always exceptions misses that they were exceptions, exceptions to what, to what was “the norm” - the majority case, the most frequent case, the case most people expressed. Merely naming it had nothing to do with it.

To the contrary, sex (penetration/internal fertilization as a component of reproduction) has 250 million years of history.

http://dailym.ai/2nhjt1S

In a nutshell, the first animals to walk (crawl, slither, etc) on land were egg-laying amphibians, the eggs of which had to be laid in the sea. Reproduction would have been impossible if they roamed more than walking distance from the sea.

The development of internal fertilization was necessary to support their migrating inland to populate the heart of the continents.

I totally agree that heterosexuality is the truth—a fact of nature-—part of the Laws of Nature and Nature’s God, that makes up the philosophy of our Constitution and Western Civ. which contains our so-called “Justice” (virtue) System.

Words and Ideas and Truth (Objective Truth (God)) matter in our “justice” system which always has to promote truth and “public virtue” to be “just law” (based on Right Reason according to Natural Law).

But, in referring to macro-evolution-—I am lost to that “faith” which is being promoted in all our textbooks, as only Christian faith has been banned from the public square and public skools, so lies and misinformation could be passed on as “truth” instead of just an irrational “theory” of the Marxists and atheists and Humanists and Materialists.

That is how they have flipped 2000 years of ethics and now promote irrational lies (like gender “theory”) and Marxist”s constructs so they could actually make men into women and sodomizing others into a virtue (as they will pederasty), and destroy the rational concept of marriage and make Slavery into Freedom and eliminate virtue formation in our children.

Making Vice into Virtue will make slaves of the masses. Virtue is inner control and not possible without Truth (God). Vice is always outer control and the inability to choose Reason over Emotions; Facts over Lies (Marxism).

It’s just illogical word-spew. Don’t try to make sense of it.

all strongly favor same-sex attraction

Um, I think you meant to write "opposite-sex attraction", no?

Looking at the ducks in my pool... heterosexuality seems pretty instinctual.

It’s one thing to accept other sexuality. It’s another thing to pretend hetero is not the planetary norm for higher order animals.

I intended “sexuality” to include the behavior that springs from it.

I see your point. However, I think that "sexuality" implies a kind of comprehensiveness that is similar to "orientation" or "identity."

I like "sexual urge" for the idea of doing it, and "behavior" or "activity" for the actual function.
