I'm just asexual, not misogynistic
I think my friends find it a bit hard to understand my sexuality. Me and my friends in context here are all girls. Whenever they're talking about how they're taking sexy pics and sexting with guys they met just a few weeks ago. I tend to react a bit repulsively, with a remark similar to " I would never do that". And I think they misunderstand me to being a prude. While having a discussion about music and female rappers, I commented how I don't really like their music, specifically Doja Cat, because majority of it is very sexual and just not relatable to me. Now don't get me wrong Doja is an amazing artist, her beats are sick, but lyrics may I say, Scare Me. I told them how I wish more female rappers could sing about stuff other than sex. But my friends went on a rant about sexual liberation and how women have been confined and now they're finally speaking up so this genre is here to stay. I guess they got the wrong idea. But I still very much believe pop female rappers can explore more different topics in their work and there's so much we've got to talk about through this medium. Am I the asshole here? :(

I told my best friend I'm asexual, and now she's telling all of our friends without my consent.
I mean, don't get me wrong, I'm fine with them knowing I'm ace. I don't care if I just met you, I'll tell you, but I don't know how to process this. Yeah I'm okay if they know but I don't want her telling everyone as soon as I come up in some sort of Convo. I wanted so bad to come out to my friends on my own terms, not have her ruin it for me. I tried to "come out" to one of our good friends and he looked dead at me and said "yeah I knew. (Girl) told me already." And I sat there so dumbfounded. That was the second time I had been told she'd done that. She's one of my only friends and I don't want to lose her so I don't know how to bring it up to her. I love her so much but I seriously hate her for this. How could she? It feels like she betrayed my trust. I don't know what to do. :(

I feel like queer relationships in media are often much more well written and relatable as an ace person than heteroromantic-heterosexual relationships are
I was watching clips of the TV show Hannibal and the way that Hannibal and Will’s relationship isn’t sexual but is clearly more than just platonic just strikes a chord with me. I usually am not really a fan of romance, but the way they touch each other and hold each other kind of makes me want a relationship despite me being aro-spec. It’s just so pure and loving and it showcases this adoration and acceptance for the other person as a whole, not just as a sexual partner. I’m not trying to romanticize their relationship since it definitely was abusive, but it’s still much more enjoyable than shows where straight characters make eye contact and the next scene is them undressing in the middle of a dimly lit street (ok mild exaggeration on my part but you get the picture). I hate how straight characters get together purely because they’re the opposite gender and I feel like because queer relationships are less accepted when they do get shown in media they are much more well thought out. This isn’t to say that there aren’t great straight relationships in media, just that I relate to them much less on a personal level.
I guess what I’m trying to say is that the queer relationships I have seen in media are usually much more than just sex for the sake of having it in the show with not much other development or chemistry between characters.
