Document Summary
Heterosexual romantic love and its grounding in gender norms. Think gender sex from de sousa and morgan. Idea of romantic love as merger of identities. View merger as an intrinsic or instrumental good. One person in the couple relationship is "we-i" (women) and the other is "i-we" (men) in typical heterosexual relationships. There are individual selves that cohere over time: one body one self. Even if a new entity is created with the love-merger, the old identities remain. If the merger ends, the lovers can recover their clearly separate identities. *note the nice map she shows: use this in your essay. "in the next part of the essay sketch in the sixth section" Whatever is shared must be important enough to pertain to someone"s identity. Some actions are shared but there are still discreet areas of concern. Subjectivity: what it is like to be you, how you see the world.
