You weren't oppressed. Your "friends" were just assholes.

NAYRT

Would you mind elaborating?

I think it's like your friends were rude to you and was bad of them, but they didn't infringe on any of your rights nor they have any power to do so, because being asexual doesn't actually leave any right you have vulnerable in order to be taken from you.

That's not to say you're not entitled to feel upset, though.

It sounds like more people than just anon's friends were involved, though. And oppression isn't just laws made to keep minority "in their place." Laws can be changed much, much more quickly than societal prejudices. If someone came out as gay or lesbian and had their personal contact information scribbled on bathroom stalls and may or may not have gotten unwanted calls as a result, that's absolutely an invasion of their rights. That's absolutely oppression. Just because it's not done to a minority that isn't as actively attacked doesn't make it mean any less. Asexuals are not as oppressed as a lot of other minority groups, that's a given. But to say there's no oppression at all is completely untrue.

tl;dr If a majority is making someone outside their "group" feel like she is wrong for being who she is, that's oppression.

+1!
I've been called frigid once or twice. Not asexual, though. Just finicky.

You weren't oppressed. Your "friends" were just assholes.

FOR REAL

This. The government and society aren't actively seeking to remove your rights. You are not being oppressed.

Not oppressed but I hate it when people brush this under a carpet like "deal with it". Being asexual can be very hard since the society plunges these images down our throats that every normal woman wants a man and a family + the media is very sex filled these days.
It can be very stressing when your own family and friends won't stop harping about it and don't accept asexuality as the way it is, always insisting that "You just haven't found the right person yet."/"Maybe you are a closet lesbian?"/etc. In fact, I have friends who understand and accept homosexuality but they don't understand asexuality. It's like something seriously bizarre for them.
