If I were truly average, I'd be listening to chart music, know what was in style, and voluntarily watched multiple episodes of a reality series. Instead, I'm watching things with men in drag. And I'm a straight woman!

And what makes you define that as normality/average?

I'd define myself as fairly close to the norm/average, and don't meet any of those criteria.

The whole debate is a joke, there can be no answer, no resolution, no changing of people's perspectives, nothing gained from an argument over personal viewpoints which (let's face it) are very deeply held and personal.

Unless I'm missing the point - which I do fairly frequently when it comes to some things on mono.

I was giving examples of averageness, not normality. They're similar, but not identical. :-)

Statistically, the average person _does_ do these things. But not doing them doesn't immediately render you abnormal. :)

Life would be so terrible if we all conformed to what was expected of us, or to the stereotypes attached to us. The weirdos are the truly interesting ones :)
