Is hook-up culture part of individualism because it commodifies other people as just sex objects? (lemmygrad.ml)

I am thinking of the mindset of wanting to hook up with as many people as possible not taking into consideration other people ‘s feelings or who might get hurt in by the process, which objectifies other individuals. That is an individualistic thought process, right?

Edit: I meant commodification in the sense of online dating apps, escort services, only fans, porn, prostitution and patriarchy. This trickles to the culture due to base and superstructure, and it is adopted by individualism.

All sex is rape when women are socialized and conditioned by the patiarchy into being hetrosexual breeding machines.

Informed consent doesnt mean much in a neo liberal class system setup by the patriarchy where every structure from birth conditions hetro-normitivity.

So I dont think hook-up culture is part of invidualism per say, but I do think that the commodification of the female body is real.

sounds very infantilizing of women to say they're incapable of consenting

Its applicable to men as well, under capitalist neo-liberal class society true consent is hard to reach.

Its not infantilizing to achknowledge socialization and the partiarchys impact on consent, its just sociology.

its very infantilizing to think people are not capable of making decisions for themselves because they live in a society lmao

I didnt say people are incapable of making decisions for themselves, I talked about informed consent.

informed consent is a medical ethical term. I hope you're not bringing out a piece of paper for your partner to sign before sex lol

No but I am making sure they dont feel any pressure to have sex with me.
