Social conspiracy against men: Not having an interest in women = not being a man

For a man to admit that he doesn't have an interest in women (in a heterosexualized or semi-heterosexualized society) is for him to say that he is not a man... In traditional societies it was not so... All you needed to prove your manhood was a functioning penis... and if you could pour your seed into a vagina and produce a baby, you were man for sure.

To question a man's sexuality, therefore is to say that he is not a man... women don't know this and may easily ask a man if he is gay, if they have the slightest suspicion. For the man, its like someone just asked, "Are you really a man?", or "are you a queer, third sex?"

However, there is still a difference between "not being a man" and "being a third sex". You may not like a woman and live like an abnormal 'straight' man. But if you say you have an interest in men, it is then that you become third gender.

Many men pretend to be asexual in order to avoid being classified as 'third sex'. It is one of the mechanisms they have built to avoid this banishment. Others are:

1. Pretending to be stupid.
2. Pretending to be eccentric.
