> It is cognitive dissonance to support hookup culture and lament that the world is over-sexualised and that you are a victim of sexual objectification

A simple yet cynical reasoning: they hookup with the physically attractive but distain even the concept of ugly men. If they can have their way slavery would return and women would become polygamous proper sharing the same Konan-esque husband.

Of course historically that is the case and the hatred of the mundane men is biologically driven, but partial egalitarianism and the monogamous compromise is how humans evolved in complex societies.

As soon as there is an economic fallout and societal crisis, polygamy and and serfdom/eradication of the sexless will return. Hookup culture is merely a social concede of what was and is to come, not what ought to be. It is not that there are no strings attached on them, they know that the strings are attached to "you men".
