1. current western standards of beauty in the fake ball-like breasts, the extra skinny and tall proportions that people have resorted to frightening surgeries to emulate.

2. that women are “Expected” to be poor in science and math subjects

3. that one is expected to lead the “Average life” of the 9 to 5, the retirement, the compromise of one's dreams

And one cannot be happy if he/she is overweight, broke, single, and un/underemployed. Normalcy is a view through a very small lens. Normalcy is a set of rules that one accepts. There is no such thing as society. Normalcy is happiness.
