(My sharing my hatred of "anywho" with The Boy has led to him using it as much as possible, to see how long it takes me to go insane. Evil.)
Look, you got a little stabbed the other day. That's bound to make anyone a mite ornery.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Could I have more privilege to resent the presence of "hetero" in heteronormativity? I think it makes it sound like it's about heterosexuality, and it's not.
So, I need to let it go.
Also, I suspect I have learnt I may have been being naive about gender politics again.

Wait, what? I thought it was. Or, at least, a social enforcement of heterosexuality as the ideal.

It's also an enforcement/endorsement of traditional gender roles, which has nothing to do with my heterosexuality, thank you very much.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Can anyone explain why people "like" their own posts on Facebook?

Oooh, fair point.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
For the same reason that people laugh at their own jokes?

Because books.

I get this, I think. You mean how it could be assumed from a couple in a hetero relationship that the man is taking the traditionally male role (decision-maker, bread-winner, etc.)?

Laughing at your own jokes is sometimes out of your control, though!
(I think I'm very funny...)

I say "kiddo(s)" all the time. About kids, to kids. My dad called me kiddo.
My pet peeve is "liberry." I corrected a not-mine kid(do) three times yesterday while he was playing Ghostbusters. I couldn't stop.
