In speaking of the construction of heterosexuality as being the only "natural" sexuality, one wonders:
If 'normal' behavior is so natural, then why does it require such a set of controls--from religion, to law, to do state--to keep it in place? One would argue that the patriarchy needs the institution of heterosexuality in order to survive.

Paraphrased from an essay by Nivedita Menon, "How natural is normal? Feminism and compulsory heterosexuality."
