I went to sleep believing myself to be in a country with an open mind, with a relaxed and flexible society in its judgments of affective and/or sexual relationships, and I woke up in a sea of vengeful and punishing morality.
My mistake was undoubtedly due to the attention that I have been paying in recent times to the debate on identities and orientations.
It has given me the wrong impression that everyone is non-binary, gender fluid, bi or pansexual, in open or polyamorous relationships.
If we pay attention to what is said on this subject, it would seem that we do nothing but fuck or decide how, with whom, why and under what circumstances we are going to fuck.
Once the heteropatriarchy was deconstructed, there was nothing left but to enjoy the infinite catalog of possibilities that
queerpedia offers us.
so fashionable.
It is almost embarrassing to declare yourself heterosexual and not embody any of the many available sexual dissidences.
Until Shakira and Piqué came along and showed how conservative we really are.
Hadn't the cisnormative monogamous order guilty of all the violence of the present died?
So why so much indignation for some horns or because they have left you for another?
I, who thought I was surrounded by polyamorous supporters of releasing desire to unsuspected limits, goes and they all start to react with furious and moralistic rage for an infidelity that they deem unforgivable.
So no, I did not live in a world where one understands the complexity of these issues, the changes that a couple can experience over the years, the uniqueness of each relationship and the many reasons that can lead to a breakup, either by direct way and without anchors or by clinging one of the members to another person (the other!).
So I discovered, naive me,
that the heteronormative couple is not only light years away from becoming extinct, but even those who have been filling their mouths with fluidity for some time have it elevated on the altars of the sacred.
We even lacked a feminist reading of the singer's tantrum or that infidelity be considered a form of gender violence.
Well, nothing, let's reinstate the crime of adultery and, already put, let's all bunker in our relationships without paying attention to desire or its laws, let's rescue unions for life and practice coercion as a way of retaining the loved one because the other belongs to me and if it is not mine, it will not belong to anyone.
