The self-esteem movement taught women that they were valuable beyond what convention might dictate. The sexual revolution urged women to seek liberation. Several distinct cultural changes have created a situation in which many men who hate women do not have the access to women’s bodies that they would have had in an earlier era. And, as women gain the economic and cultural power that allows them to be choosy about their partners, men have generated ideas about self-improvement that are sometimes inextricable from violent rage. Men, like women, blame women if they feel undesirable. Conventional femininity teaches women to be good partners to men as a basic moral requirement: a woman should provide her man a support system, and be an ideal accessory for him, and it is her job to convince him, and the world, that she is good. Women are socialized from childhood to blame themselves if they feel undesirable, to believe that they will be unacceptable unless they spend time and money and mental effort being pretty and amenable and appealing to men. There is an absurd mismatch in the way that straight men and women are taught to respond to these circumstances. Sexual value continues to accrue to abled over disabled, cis over trans, thin over fat, tall over short, white over nonwhite, rich over poor. Our newest sex technologies, such as Tinder and Grindr, are built to carefully match people by looks above all else. These days, in this country, sex has become a hyper-efficient and deregulated marketplace, and, like any hyper-efficient and deregulated marketplace, it often makes people feel very bad. Structural power is the best protection against it: a rich straight white man, no matter how unpleasant, will always receive enthusiastic handshakes and good treatment at banking institutions he will find ways to get laid. In America, to be poor, or black, or fat, or trans, or Native, or old, or disabled, or undocumented, among other things, is usually to have become acquainted with unwantedness. None of the people I interviewed believed that they were owed the sex that they wished to have. It is also entirely possible to process a difficult social position with generosity and grace. It is a horrible thing to feel unwanted-invisible, inadequate, ineligible for the things that any person might hope for. But he had worked hard, he told me, to start thinking of himself as a person who was capable of a relationship-a person who was worthy of, and could accept, love. “Sometimes I think, why would a woman like that ever want me?” he said. “Not having erotic capital, not being part of the sexual marketplace . . . that’s a serious thing in our world! I mean, practically everyone has sex, so what’s wrong with me?” A twenty-six-year-old man who was on the autism spectrum and had been molested as a child wondered, “If I get naked with someone, am I going to take to it like a duck to water, or am I going to start crying and lock myself in the bathroom?” He hoped to meet someone who saw life clearly, who was gentle and independent. “Embarrassed doesn’t even cover it,” a thirty-two-year-old woman who chose the pseudonym Bette told me. Some were not, sometimes for complicated, overlapping reasons: disability, trauma, issues related to appearance, temperament, chance. Some of the people I talked to were virgins by choice. To my surprise, messages came rolling in. I knew my first subject personally, and, after I interviewed her, I put out an open call.
