When a man cannot get a woman to show interest in him, the man often accuses the woman of being frigid. This is often the case for asexual women. The Philadelphia Ace Examiner, being male, cannot either confirm or deny how an asexual woman might feel about this accusation, but it is at the very least as unfair as accusing an asexual man of being impotent or homosexual. (Asexuals of either gender have to deal with the latter accusation.)
The author will have a harder time debunking this one, not being well versed with how women respond to arousal, but he assumes it is the same as with the men. A lack of interest in dating someone is not the same thing as being frigid. The parts of most asexual women work as well as their male counterparts. The chemical component of attraction is missing.

This may be seen by some as a disability, but while there is little scientific evidence on the subject, the hormone levels of most asexual women (and men for that matter, seem to be normal.) Now of course, this point has also been made many times before in this column.
Women seem to get accused of this more because a man who is denied one of his favorite activities (besides watching sports) must find some reason for a woman to decline him. (Of course, this is not true for all men, but please cut the author some slack. The typical double standard means he can get away with making fun of men without being yelled at for it.)
The accusation has more to do with salvaging the ego of the person who made it, then it does with any actual problem the female asexual might suffer from. If any asexual women want to add their own observations in the comment thread, please feel free to do so. They will likely have far more experience in this area than the author. After all, he can only be a spectator making unimportant and uninformed speculations in this particular instance.
