Listen, I'm trying okay?

Like, is humanity evolving into something better suited for the world we are making for ourselves?

are these simply the growing pains of a social animal creating a new kind of eusociality? Fated to have these oppositional interactions until they have all been tested and resolved often enough to become completely irrelevant on a scale sufficient to remove such behavior from our species?

calling the sex I have with my friends “hookup culture” is insulting and incorrect. these are guys who take care of me and take me on dates and watch fun movies with me. being a disabled faggot too, they help me clean my place and take my trash out for me. they care for me and are on my emergency contact lists. trying to slap the label of “todays hookup culture!!!” on it is diminishing and devaluing those relationships
