it's 2021 and algorithms lecturers are still teaching the stable marriage problem as if its not heteronormative and alienating af to LGBTQ students 🙃🙃🙃
some suggestions:
- call it the stable matching problem
- use less fraught social analogies, like matching schools to candidates

literally just muted this class i'm in because I'm really not here for the masquerading of illiberal social norms as Neutral Technical Material
people who may also feel alienated by talk of (heterosexual) "stable marriages":
- intentionally single people
- divorced people
- poly people
- literally anyone for whom the institution of marriage has been harmful

also this lecturer is doing the particular egregious version of the analogy, where men propose to women. like, can we not just treat these stereotypes as innocent??? 😩
okay i guess i'm skipping this lecture and reading the textbook instead, thanks compulsory heterosexuality
