I'm a guy and this has happened to me too. |

Both our sexes go into a situation where we need to socialise. We both fall short of it, anyone whoes imature acts out badly toward us. I don't know. It seems like males have some kind of pressure put on them to be Mr. Impressive, perfect dude. (pressure to display certain sterio typical achievments of what would be culturaly considered "manly".)

| Does a total disinterest in sex go for both genders, just for the "average" AS male, or is it a rarer AS trait? On the AS partner support forum I'm on, it seems to be a major cause of depression and frustration for NT partners. |

From the title I thought it was going to be a no holds barred, gender war, to which I was fully prepared to throw my hands up in the air and say "My give up" and surrender to my new feminine overlords.
Oh well, a boy has a right to dream. 
Are there really any big differences that aren't regular non aspie gender differences that simply effect the aspie experience in the same way gender still effects the life experience of all humans, for better and for worse? |

Can you rephrase that question? I reads like it's in pain. |

hello
well basically i think that within general society it is more acceptable to be a kind, caring, quiet female or a tough, go getter male, therefore anyone who displays a differing set of personality traits is no longer acceptable to the general society (sorry for the gross generalization but i hope you understand what i am saying) there fore any male that appears to display emotional responses is considered a little strange where as a female is expected to display an emotional response, personally i am female, love quantum physics and display virtually no emotional responses (in public) and have been seen as strange all my life, but oh well |
