An engaging exploration of what it means to be asexual in a world that's obsessed with sexual attraction, and what the ace perspective can teach all of us about desire and identity. What exactly is sexual attraction and what is it like to go through life not experiencing it? What does asexuality reveal about gender roles, about romance and consent, and the pressures of society? This accessible examination of asexuality shows that the issues that aces face--confusion around sexual activity, the intersection of sexuality and identity, navigating different needs in relationships--are the same conflicts that nearly all of us will experience. Through a blend of reporting, cultural criticism, and memoir, Ace addresses the misconceptions around the "A" of LGBTQIA and invites everyone to rethink pleasure and intimacy. Journalist Angela Chen creates her path to understanding her own asexuality with the perspectives of a diverse group of asexual people. Vulnerable and honest, these stories include a woman who had blood tests done because she was convinced that "not wanting sex" was a sign of serious illness, and a man who grew up in a religious household and did everything "right," only to realize after marriage that his experience of sexuality had never been the same as that of others. Disabled aces, aces of color, gender-nonconforming aces, and aces who both do and don't want romantic relationships all share their experiences navigating a society in which a lack of sexual attraction is considered abnormal. Chen's careful cultural analysis explores how societal norms limit understanding of sex and relationships and celebrates the breadth of sexuality and queerness.Binding Type: Hardcover

Sturdy but hard to use
This bar is sturdy and doesn't bend but the bars are too close together making it difficult to hang towels on.
Pro: sturdy and quality made
Con: hard to use

Perfect for my needs
I don’t have many towel racks in my bathrooms and they’re hard for me to reach because I’m disabled. I bought a couple of small over the door racks, but they’re too small for hand towels. I didn’t have high hopes for this adjustable rack, I thought it would uncouple and fall from the door. I’m pleased to say I was wrong. There appears to be a stopper keeping both sides in place. I like that it has 2 bars, I easily put my face towel on one and my hand towel on the other. If I have a complaint, I wish the whole unit was another inch longer.

Perfect fit & couldn't be easier to install
Even though I measured I wasn't sure about the size or how the extending would work. It works very well and seems to stay securely in place fully extended. The felt pads are a nice touch and make sure it doesn't move around as you place & remove towels. It looks great. As far as people who've commented that the metal's a bit thin; well is a bit on the thin side but for kitchen towels I don't see that being an issue. I'm very happy with this purchase.

Pure Perfection!
Color: Black
Love this addition to my sink! It holds dishwashing liquid, hand soap pump, spounges, scrapers, and dish rag with room to spare. Any liquid will drain from the multi-directional spout right into your sink. The materials are all metal, no flimsy plastic dish rag holder.

Well made and sturdy.
Color: Black
Very sturdy and well made. Doesn't slide around every time you touch the soap dispensers like our last one.
