If we’re being pedantic, the average man has most of two testicles, and the average woman most of two breasts. The average human will have almost one of each :p
Perhaps I came off as too hostile. I read your comment and I thought it was potentially harmful and I’m incredibly depressed, so I wrote a hasty sniping response. I tend to think of things said as their effects in aggregate rather than the virtue of the person saying it.
I’m also bi and arguably aromantic. And intend to remain childfree.
Normal mainly implies average.
The average person has a spouse and a kid. So the statement is not wrong.
Doesn’t mean you can’t have a normal life without a wife or a kid. It just doesn’t mean average then.
As there are substantially fewer polygamists than there are single people, the average person has a fraction of a spouse.

wait. so normal means average, or normal does not mean average?
Its a normative statement. It contributes to alienating people without wives or kids.
