A DESTRUCTIVE POSITIONAL ARMS RACE.  Here's Carol Iannone in Phi Beta Cons.

But when you tear down all the civilizing elements that once facilitated proper relations between the sexes in the name of “equality,” you will get offensive behavior, especially from boys, and most often it will be girls who are offended, and nowadays that means a federal case. And women and girls are of course encouraged in this by feminism, which helped destroy the structures that would once have protected them.

But the situation also illustrates a larger truth. In a reign of sexual liberation, only the most beautiful can come out on the top of the pyramid. Lesser mortals will be judged wanting, even by members of the opposite sex who are scarcely Venus or Adonis themselves, because sexual attractiveness has been split off from the larger whole of the human person. People are totally objectified and therefore susceptible to being evaluated like specimens at a slave market. 

Regular readers recognize the argument.

Today the only victors in the sexual revolution are those men and women who are good-looking and clever enough to enjoy multiple partners with a minimum of emotional and financial commitment. The dowdy and the not-so-clever (or not-so-unscrupulous) are used by the well-endowed and find loneliness and frustration where, in a previous generation, they would probably have been able to start families.

That argument dates from 1987. There is great capacity, apparently, for loneliness and frustration.
