The Real reason you never hear about Male Asari

Yeah, apparently the lore disagrees with you more or perhaps Bioware was just trolling in anticipation of throwing real life transgender politics in game because they feel they need to represent an extreme minority.

And just how does Samara saying they don't have males (a true statement by lore) contradict anything I've said?  Asari don't even have FEMALES, by their own standards.  They have no genders.

Yeah, the Asari aren't technically "female" given that they are a monogendered species.

But what is "the lore"? It's not as if Mass Effect (or any sci-fi for that matter) was some completely coherent logical thing. I'm not even talking about the contradictions, retcons and absurdities over the course of the trilogy. ME1 in itself is relatively coherent by sci-fi standards but clearly has inconsistencies too. I mean, probably one guy wrote the codex and another one wrote Liara and her dialogue (Drew Karpyshyn if I'm not mistaken). Maybe the codex writer got it wrong, maybe the dialogue writer made it up on the fly. Maybe one was the first idea and the other one was developed further into development. Maybe the team never clearly defined it because they hadn't seen that contradiction coming. What I'm trying to say, we have different versions in the game, we don't know how they came to be, and so I don't think we can say "this is the correct version and that's the wrong one" if the writers can't agree on one.

How did you get Peebee in Liara's outfit? 

Physically, yes.  They give live birth, so there's a need for a birth canal, and breasts for feeding their infants.  This isn't explicitly stated either, but it's a fairly understandable leap of logic.  This gives them traits that, as humans, identify as female.

The phrasing and connotation of their words is troublesome, though.  I would say that it's explained by the universal translator we have during the series.  Since humans see Asari as female, words in their language that are likely gender neutral are expressed with feminine connotations in our language.  That's definitely a head-canon, thing, though.  Asari who've learned human language also kinda need to express themselves, and since most people view them as female, it would make sense for them to use the feminine human words.   Especially as, in English anyways, there's no real gender neutral expression for "God."  Again, nothing to support this, but that's how I've thought of it since ME1, so...

It doesn't mean, though, that there aren't Asari who view things from what we would call a male role.  Liara's "father" on the Citadel in ME3 (I'm blanking on her name, my apologies) doesn't specify whether she identifies as male/female/neutral, but she definitely has masculine traits in her dialogue.  Rougher sounding voice, the choice of phrases, etc.  It's just not a case of "Asari are female!  Why is ME:A retconning them!  SJW bullshit!"  that I've seen too often.  

You know, unless you're a species without males.  Like the Asari.  So yeah, I think the Asari have a better grasp of who they are than a non-Asari does.  And yes, I realize the absurdity of assigning motives to fictional pixels.

The real world has become more sensitive of gender due to a third wave of feminism and a populist leftist pull so suddenly the Asari, the all-women race, the "every nerd's dream to design" character from Mass Effect became awkward to observe from that viewpoint.

The Asari have, lore-wise, never been an "all female race." They are mono-gendered. We see them as female, but that's based in our male/female gender pattern. Liara even specifies this in ME1.
