Look I don't think that "hookup culture" is the future, but it is practically speaking impossible to expect women to be full-time employed AND have time to be homemakers. And yet the productivity of our modern economy is based on women's place in the labor market. There are absolutely emotional and psychological benefits of having a committed partner, but how often do marriages end in divorce, how often are people just putting up with each other, and how much sexual frustration and violence on account of it has been generated by socially enforced monogamy? I don't see why we can't aspire to building a better society where women aren't competing tooth and nail for the men who are fighting tooth and nail for the best social status?
A truly free society would not be one that is either polyamorous or monogamous but one where the fulfillment of sexual needs is considered a social necessity just like the fulfillment of any other physical need and is addressed as a social problem. Women would participate co-operatively with men in both the social labor of sex and of child-rearing, and their would be no need for the strict delineations which create the social contradictions we have today.

I don't even know what that means. People are forced to have sex and rear children?
