      Only because we associate sexuality and “getting laid” with manhood. They aren’t the same. Are asexual men less men? No one’s gatekeeping manhood in this image, they’re gatekeeping sexuality.

        But we do associate it with manhood. Until we move on from that mindset, it is an attack on someone’s manhood

              Societal change starts with the individual. If one person today has changed their views, it’s a step.

                I’m not doubting that, I’m just saying “we” as a society still associates the ability to get laid with manliness. And that’s not changing anytime soon

          And the way we move on from that is by each of us, individually, deciding that’s not an attack on manhood.

            Right, but to see the difference takes time. Some people are more hung up on the current view than others.
