Yes, the norm is objective, and determined by the majority, but methinks that your perception of "normal" is subjective, like all internal cognitions. So, yes, we can agree on what the "norm" is, but that's because the norm is synonymous with the average, which is to say that normality is on a continuum. My "normal" and your "normal" almost certainly overlap at certain points, but from there, they may diverge, based on one's different socio-economic, gender, racial, and religious determinants.
