This is #102 of a series in which I read correspondence between me and people who have questions, comments, or--more often--misconceptions about asexuality. In this video, I share a man's comment on my first online asexuality essay wherein he insisted my perspective was only useful for women, who don't have actual problems if they come out as asexual while men do. Men, he argues, are actually in danger because they might be mistaken for gay. For some reason he believes a similar belief about asexual women would not be dangerous for us, and that I really should have made a helpful essay for the real victims here: men.
