The sexual Revolution seems to have hurt women more on the front end and men more on the back end. (There’s probably a better way to say that. I don’t mean physically.) Women feel the bonding of sex more than men do and the pain of it breaking. They feel the grief of being unwanted. But these things hurt men too, later, on the other side, when they find out they screwed up the one thing at which they most wanted to succeed. They wanted to hear, “Well done, my son” and instead a voice inside them keeps saying, “Way to go, loser. You’re not a lover, and you’re not a father.” And they know the voice is right.
