Re: Asexuality in 'real life'

[herpymcderp]

Depends on where you're looking. The average layperson with zero years of college education is also pretty unlikely to know basic psychological concepts like confirmation bias, or that people can have more than two sex chromosomes.

As soon as you make it out of that demographic, you'll find that outside the internet it's pretty common knowledge even for people who don't spend all their time on tumblr or in activist circles.

your life view is terrifying

Re: Asexuality in 'real life'

[herpymcderp]

It's not really a "life view", it's based on a bunch of surveys that were done to assess the general knowledge of the public during the early 2000's about basic psychology.

It's out of a textbook, essentially. But who knows, perhaps things have changed since then.

the surveys themselves aren't what i'm getting at, but you're just digging yourself deeper

Re: Asexuality in 'real life'

[herpymcderp]

But that's entirely what I meant? This is about psych not getting taught outside university, and asexuality not being discussed outside psych circles (unless it's on the internet).

how are you even getting that from my post?

it's like all you do is talk so you can hear yourself speak

Re: Asexuality in 'real life'

[herpymcderp]

If I had to guess I'd say it's the same way you're interpreting my original post as classist... which is dead wrong.

But if you're just hating to hate, feel free to tell me so so I can stop responding to you.

DA

Dude, they're baiting you.

Let it go man. Other anon isn't serious.

Re: Asexuality in 'real life'

[herpymcderp]

Yeah, it occurred to me one comment ago that this is probably that hater anon I appear to have picked up.

Re: Asexuality in 'real life'

I really dislike the implication that people with no college education are automatically ignoramuses. There are other places to educate yourself.

And for the record, I do have a college degree so I'm just being "butthurt" or whatever.

Re: Asexuality in 'real life'

[herpymcderp]

That's not even what I'm implying. Asexuality tends to get discussed outside the internet as part of general psychology... and doesn't really get talked about in other contexts. It doesn't get mentioned in the vast majority of sex ed classes, for example, though it would be really useful if it did.

There's a lot evidence that suggests that people in general don't get taught psych concepts outside of higher education.

tl;dr it's a giant debate right now since many psychologists advocate increased transparency and public psych education, and others are convinced that it would increase people attempting to fake psychiatric illnesses.

Re: Asexuality in 'real life'

...Yeah, okay Derpy you tread on toes early and often, but I can't even fathom why people are coming after you for THIS comment.

The only thing bothering me is that I don't know what group your latter statement could even be referring to.

Re: Asexuality in 'real life'

[herpymcderp]

I'm saying that if you find yourself on any kind of college or uni campus (or places where sexuality spectrums are a regular topic of conversation) then asexuality becomes common knowledge, more or less.

tbh, I really wish it were included in sex ed class or that there was any kind of discussion about the Kinsey scale and alternative sexuality.

Re: Asexuality in 'real life'

[scrubber]

Seems reasonable to me.
