The winding paths of narcissism

Speaking of Euan Weddell complaining about people knowing where he is while telling people where he is…

Asexual & proud! Equality for ALL means equality for asexuals, too!

It was a pleasure marching with @stonewalluk at #PrideinLondon again and continuing to work with them on our shared cause. Solidarity has never been more important. Happy Pride! 💜#ThisIsWhatAsexualLooksLike pic.twitter.com/fCAEy0J62G

She did this last year, too, if I remember correctly. Tiny flaw. If you’re so asexual why dress so sexual?

She’s not dressed for comfort, so why is she dressed that way? Is it possible to think of another plausible reason that’s not sexual? I can’t come up with one. The weather is warm, but so then why wear fishnets? Why not get all that hot heavy hair out of the way? Why not lighter, looser shorts?

She’s dressed for “give me sexual attention” so what’s asexual about that?

Also where does “equality” come into it?

Still a mystery.

You know, asexual ‘pride’ always confuses me. I do not go fishing; should I demand notice for that? I do not play bingo; should I demand notice? I realize sexuality is slightly different, because people are always wanting you to be a couple and no one ever insists you do the other things (like hell they don’t), but seriously? If your biggest problem is someone trying to fix you up with their boyfriend’s uncle’s best friend’s sister? Sorry, not repression. Just like when someone wants me to eat yogurt or do meditation it isn’t repression, even if they insist very strongly.

I do consider that a good analogy, by the way, because I consider food and sex to be on a fairly equal plane – they are both things we need to do to continue the future of our species. And we cannot avoid food; we can avoid sex as an individual if we like.

Most people really don’t give a flying fuck if you are asexual. That might be the problem. It doesn’t get you noticed, unless you post sexy pictures of yourself at pride marches wearing extremely sexualized garments. Frankly, I imagine most people would rather not be privy to your own private sexual preferences.
