"He had raised the bar and raised the stakes. I wanted all men to make me feel the way A had made me feel, and I wanted all guys to be more like than unlike him. They had to laugh at my jokes and admire my mind and understand and appreciate nonconformity. They had to care about books and be able to talk about everything. They had to celebrate femininity, to worship it—to not just want girls."
GOSH. I felt that. Actually, I feel it right now and it's horrible.
On the other hand, the essay is so honest and beautiful and most important, it give me hope.

While I get the author's point and I like her writing style, it does seem as if she's fetishising the whole "gay boyfriend" trope, which she recognizes as a trope in the story!
