Read here: https://taaap.org/2021/10/25/ace-week-21-ace-men/Thank you to our contributors - representation of our community often skews feminine due to masculinity being associated with aggressive hypersexuality.[ID: Two images with the heading “Ace Men”, with quotes from the article linked. “I have never had any ace question my ace-ness but I feel like as a man they do doubt me and are just being kind.”- Joshua Godfrey. “I feel like we need more discussion on the attitudes towards sex that get ingrained into people socialised as men from a young age. It is a difficult thing to break yourself of, and we need compassion towards that.” - David. “Ace men aren’t broken men. Period.” - Cody. “Men are expected to be actively sexual, and my asexuality defies that assumption.” - Daniel. “If you do not perform to the standard set forth for men, then you will be ostracized for it.” - Bob O’Boyle. “I… find it harder to be open about my asexuality to men then I do to women, as I have experienced more aggressive dismissals, rejections and misunderstandings from male spaces that I have from female and non-binary spaces.” - Elliot Simpson.
