As a 70yo male and a feminist since the days when it was called the Women's Liberation Movement, I've been certain all my life that who we are as individuals has far more to do with what's between our ears than what's between our legs.

And that belief applies to all of our important choices, including sexual ones. I'm not a person who can get close physically without forming some emotional attachment. Hookups--sex with strangers--seem ridiculously reckless to me, a recipe for exploitation, emotional violence, and heartbreak. I don't even believing in dating till a friendship is established.

So to my thinking, true feminism should be the antithesis of hookup culture, since it's about valuing yourself and respecting all the other selves around you. Why settle for "just sex" when loving sex--the kind that gives life meaning--is still possible?
