Sudden inspiration

Some little nonbinding suggestion for the radical feministas that like to absorb the #MeToo for their own purposes:
If it's your deep desire to have no sex, or only very rarely, and be not annoyed by stuff that is about fleshly desires, then just come to say you're asexual. The family is really big with all kinds of different people!
But, this comes with a little condition: If you admit yourself to seeking no sexual relationships with men, women or whatever else on the spectrum, just pragmatic, platonic or romantic connections, then you've gotta put your eyes and ears into deaf mode really much a lot and you've got to enforce your desires and limits consequently, whenever someone attempts to violate them.
And you've got to learn to read other peoples' intentions. Not tell the whole world all the time it's their duty to create your sex-clean world.
You didn't guess that being asexual has a decent number of people in society identifying with it, really?
So, nobody needs to have your asexual mindset in the back of his head, you've gotta stand for that yourself.
Every. fucking. time.

But you can guess the reasons why... The generation which already grew up with the ideas of feminism regarding it as a hillbilly movement, "evil patriarchy fearing of losing its rights and therefore claiming it right back", that kind of stuff, occupying the important positions in society, so that's why they never mention it unless they really have to.
Another shortcut I heard somewhere already was something that turned out in written form to be something like "men going their own way" (MGTOW?), according to urban dictionary meaning "men rejecting the circle of marriage, having children, surrendering nurturing all that crap until they're old and that being regarded as self-evident job done by them".
- Which made me think another time again "people, I guess I need to start copyrighting my ideas" 'cause it felt like other people copycatting what I already do for a long time. Rejecting all that crap and going looking for other sources of personal fortune.
And I haven't even be needed to be told this, I started this on my own behalf!
The point that I brought asexuality in here is:
Those femmes which assert themselves to the ideas radical feminism, talking men and their acting to being "evil" all the time, those are a bunch which complain when a men notices them in a sexual way in a hostile way as well as in a peaceful way, but they don't openly stand by being home on the lesbian side of sexuality either. (For sure, some also do so. Then it is indeed unwanted attention.) So, what are you supposed to make of them?
Then the only thing that remains is asexuality which could be the case with them in that matter. 'Cause then you don't want sexual attention from whatever side of things.
Problem solved, all things cleared... Found it what you desire. You don't desire anything.
But that's something they also don't do.
So what the heck are you supposed to make out of them?
But admitting to oneself that you're asexual also means that you accept the fact that other people probably are not like you. They INDEED regard you as sexual objects and so you have to react to them. That's a thing of accepting "okay, I need to take care of my well-being myself", which then is the deep contradiction of the dogmatic forms of feminism which want to tell you "other people have to take care of my desires".
If you think it through like that, then it makes sense why they don't attribute themselves to this...
