'Her dialogue around sex and relationships is filled with common normative claims, and repeated one cliche after another. In a few short sentences, we detect several norms:
- If you don't follow your heart, you'll always wonder what might have been.
- Men tend to move on in relationships. If women don't, they'll eventually get hurt.
- What matters most is you. A relationship can only augment the self.
- Sexual relationships just happen, and they run their course in due time.
- Youth shouldn't be wasted. It's the best time to try on new experiences and relationships.'
