The idea of "the heterosexual" was unprecedented.

Like the typewriter and the light bulb, the heterosexual was invented in the 1860s and swiftly transformed Western culture. The idea of "the heterosexual" was unprecedented. After all, men and women had been having sex, marrying, building families, and sometimes even falling in love for millennia without having any special name for their emotions or acts. Yet, within half a century, "heterosexual" had become a byword for "normal," enshrined in law, medicine, psychiatry, and the media as a new gold standard for human experience. With an eclectic scope and fascinating detail, Straight tells the eye-opening story of a complex and often contradictory man-made creation that turns out to be anything but straight or narrow.

Are you tired of moving furniture around to find a plug?
Size: 6.5 Ft, Color: Black
I hate moving my room around to find an open outlet, I needed something that had a surge protector because of my gaming computer and I also have a lot of stuff that needs plugged in. This has a lot of plugs, I love that they are spaced out and have the USC and USB at the top. The cord is pretty long so it reaches a good length. It tells you if its not protected by how it lights up when you turn it on. I highly recommend and I would buy this again if I needed another one.

Thin, durable, good plug orientation
Size: 6.5 Ft, Color: Black
This has been great for behind our entertainment center. We have a lot to plug in between floor lamps, tv displays, PlayStations, and pcs. No problems so far and much better than chaining extension cords. Would buy again
