Derogatory term for attitudes and behaviors typical of straight people and straight culture. (Obviously a play on the world "stereotypical".) It can either refer to a gender-schematic view of the world or to conservative attitudes about
sex and relationships.
Some examples of heterotypical behavior:
- watching a football game with tostitos scoops and a pack of your bros.
- having a bachelorette party.
- going shopping with your mom or girl friends rather than by yourself.
Heterotypical attitudes toward sex and relationships:
ex. 1: Matt and Ally have been together for over six months and they're still listed as "married" to their best friends on
facebook.
ex. 2:
Sarah never has sex before the fourth date.
ex. 3:
Jane and
Chris broke up and never spoke to each other again.
"
Angela always thinks I'm being
catty to her and I don't know why."
"She thinks that about all
girls."
"God, that's so heterotypical."
