We're more heteropessimistic than I thought. In fact, when my friend Javiera brought this up, I didn't even think I had anything to say. Men are the only option I've considered, so far, for romantic and sexual relationships. How could I be pessimistic about that? If I were, shouldn't I have already considered some alternatives? And if I hadn't, did that mean I was hetero-optimistic? The only thing that was clear to me was that we're a privileged hetero-centric group. Well, a privileged hetero-centric group with friends who know how to ask me the right questions.
