Yes and in today's world it's so easy to just meet people online without real world places that they are likely to congregate. After all gen Z is having such an excellent time finding a partner in that kind of social atmosphere.
checks notes
Almost 60% gen Z is either single or has never had a partner
These places are necessary for all groups. I even said that in my comment. Without these real world places where people are able to congregate and interact you're not going to be able to establish the same social paradigms as previous generations.
Social media and the digital space can't replicate that. Unless you want to suggest it's easier to meet real world people online than in the real world.....
yeah, I agree that the internet, and particularly social media, changed our social lives for the worse. But resegregating public places just isn't the solution
Guys acting like there aren't a myriad of places, events or hobbies that people can involve themselves in to develop social connections as if we live in some fucking police state. Off-loading personal responsibility to external factors.
You can list off your myriad of places in the real world where these things still exist. And I continuously can list off all the places that have disappeared for multiple groups.
And the myriad of places that exist today existed before. So it's not like new places came about in abundance to replace everything else that went away.

you realize it's not illegal to "hang out with other dudes" privately, right?
and public places are non discriminating because they're public?
