Are asexuals 'fake oppressed'? **Mod Note in Post #221**

Agree with your position on certain topics. This one in particular. I thought that was clear. Try not to mention "Freud" in your response.

Who has made it about themselves? Please be specific.

I again assume you are talking about me, not to be narcissistic, but it does seem like a pointed response in the context of this thread. If I am wrong, and you are just rambling off one line phrases, you aren't adding to the conversation.

I have simply said that a day of recognition for people who have a low or non existent sex drive, is pointless. People who have that lack of desire are aware of it, people who don't have that lack of desire don't care. Not in a mean or unsympathetic way, but just in a "none of my business" way. If that was the case, we should have a day of awareness of people who want to have sex a couple of times a week. We don't. Because it's not of concern to anyone except the people who feel that way.

But apparently, you may, (or may not depending on how honest you are) be calling me narcissistic for engaging in a conversation.

So your point is…. and I want to be sure I am clear…. If you don't like something, you should shut up and ignore it.

So a day of awareness should be ignored.

That's an oxymoron if ever i've heard one.

Any conversation about why it may be unnecessary is Freudian.

Ironically, the poster that started this conversation was called disingenuous so was dismissed.

I guess you need to walk in lockstep with the most virtuous.

Well I disagree.

If a topic is brought up on a discussion board and I have an opinion on it, I should engage in order to either educate others on my take on it and to learn from others who have an opposing view. Echo chambers are never a good thing.

Unfortunately, a select few find it easier to browbeat opposing views into silence or submission.

And yet again, you are being very (let's say) "ungenerous" with your words to say that the topic "hurts my feelings". I haven't been overly emotive nor have I spoken passionately. I am just giving my opinion.

But I'm sure that this comes across as Freudian to you.

Well pretty much everything you said is false. I am giving my opinion, while listening to others. I believe the only self confessed Asexual person in the thread was called disingenuous because someone didn't like what he said. I found that interesting.

My feelings (otherwise known as opinions) are quite important to me. It shapes how I think about topics and things. Again, if a discussion board isn't the right place to speak about my opinions (or "feelings") then I don't know where would be. It seems to me that you just don't like to hear what I have to say. And that's fine. But ironically, if you didn't engage with me, I wouldn't have such a presence on the thread.

I have every interest in discussing this topic, but seemingly, I'm not discussing it in the way you like. Feel free to take your own advice and ignore my comment. After all, not everything on the internet is for you. If you continue to engage with me, I am more than willing to engage back, but if you feel we have reached an impasse, then I am more than happy for you to decide to not respond.

Again, a really fair point.
