How am I the one being too absolutist? Asexual people claim ABSOLUTLY zero sex drive, and I call bull shit. I am saying there is not absulute, not the other way around.
I don't consider my point of view as being absolutist, but being absolutist in many senses is bad. No doubt about it. And respect to you for actually stating your perspective as an opinion and not a fact.
well actually I guess to be fair.. your point of view.. at least as you stated it in your post does at the very least come across to me as somewhat absolutist, i mean you did say "I'm convinced that the concept of humans being asexual is total and complete bullshit." emphasis on "total and complete". but there is nothing necessarily wrong with that, an absolutist doesn't instantly mean wrong, it could very well be right.
In my comment though I just explained how for me, when it comes to something as tricky as human sexuality and sheer number of people we are talking about, like 8 billion, that while i do agree there is a lot of BS when in comes to asexuality, perhaps not as nearly as much as you think, I'd disagree its a "total & complete" Bs sexual identity. Even though it may very well be total horse shit either knowingly or unknowingly for a good portion or even a majority of the people who claim to be/have it.
Its one of those things where I feel the baby can too easily be thrown out with the bathwater. But I definitely hear you, we certainly have some common ground in the sense that we both agree there is at least some BS that comes along with this identity, especially given it's trendy among young people and what not. In my opinion, its unfortunate that so many wolfs in sleeps clothing damage the reputation/believability of someone who might genuinely feel that way.
I am curious to know though, let's just say its all made up, that no one on earth actually feels this way, and everybody who claims it is wrong....what harms and or benefits do you see it causing by people claiming to be this identity either out of pure dishonesty or confusion?
Glad to hear your perspective. I figuered a lot of poeple like you would agree that it is at least exaggerated, if if you don't think it is compete bullshit. But I still think it is.
Now I'm not trying to call for specific change because of this post. I'm not saying we need to ridicule tbose who claim asexuality or anything like that. It just bugs me when people use the term because it is misleading per the definition. And also is bugs me when people act like they have no feelings when I think they do in fact have them.
Is it normal to think "asexuality" is totally not a thing?
