What I found most heartbreaking and shocking about Rejection was how it made me grapple with the types of hateful losers it both satirizes and portrays so realistically that I couldn't help but see them as vulnerable. In the story "The Feminist," a man insists on advertising his allyship until women's unwillingness to have sex with him makes him grow to hate them. Reading it, I was deeply intrigued by the portrait of feminism and alienation congealing into hatred: "Draggling his virginity like a body bag into his mid-twenties, he watched a certain amount of dominant-oriented porn, perhaps out of internalized sexism, but he read that porn was a safe, healthy place to explore sexual preferences, that sex was neither optional nor shameful, especially if studios adhered to good labor and postpartum care practices. His female friends agreed, though he didn't mention that he sought out actresses who looked like them, which he deemed acceptable as long as he consumed it critically, straddling the line between fantasy and reality."
But I was also struck—even embarrassed—by reading female characters who mocked and trivialized the idea that loneliness should be a sympathetic problem for a man. This was more or less my instinctive reaction to such ideas not long ago—that male privilege was so absolute that it somehow eliminated any common problems with being human. I mentioned this to Tony. “People see an opportunity to kill someone, to put this person in his place, and to do their political thing,” Tulathimutte said. “But connecting political ideas and political action to influence is always a bad idea.”
“If you want to write about how things are different now than they were then, you have to talk about how things are structured differently. But underneath that structure, a lot of the content is exactly the same as it was before. The theme of rejection is really timeless. The customs are different. Ignoring someone or not reading someone's news is new, but rejecting someone by ignoring them or not acknowledging them is something that has always happened, right? The only thing that's different is the platform on which it happens.”
