But, "normal" changes, it's very subjective. It's only a snapshot of a point in time. 40 years ago, gay/lesbian was considered very "abnormal". People took it upon themselves to say "not so fast, this is 'normal' for a percentage of the population". And perceptions changed. Earlier, the same thing happened in the US with race, with gender, etc. In 1914, the concept of a female CEO would have been considered absurd, probably some kind of satire or farce at best. Now, it's perfectly accepted, but still not statistically "normal" to have a woman head a major corporation, as the majority of CEO's are still male.

I say, if you don't agree with "normal", reinvent it in a new way that works for you.
