    !It helped that she didn’t in any way fit into society’s beauty standards for a woman-!<

      Absolutely necessary. Body image issues are huge and lots of people think they are too ugly for anyone to want to have sex with them. Unlike Dr. Ruth, most people having this public discussion conform to societal beauty standards and that makes people think that they won’t get to have sex unless they live up to those standards.

      Body image issues coupled with social anxiety is a path to inceldom.

      Note that I never suggested she was ugly.
