What I don’t have, what others have, and what I want. Women be shopping … [but] we’re despised for the expression of desire that is required of us, that constrains us. I despise myself for it. Shopping wastes time; so does looking for love. It all costs. Novelty yields only brief pleasure. Raised Calvinist, I surreptitiously continue to believe that something irresistible will compel me. Still, online resale marketplaces—glutted, corporatized, alienating—can be surprisingly intimate.
