    I want to make one thing crystal clear: the fuckzone is not about two people having uncommitted sex. It’s not about one-night stands, hookups or casual sex at all. The fuckzone is about being treated with disrespect, as less than, as a thing, as something other than a fully human.

    Once someone has fuckzoned you, they have removed that basic level or respect you had for each other. Fuckzoning is really selfish and unless you are on board with the no strings attached thing, don’t get involved.

    If you’re with someone and you suspect they might be fuckzoning you, say something stupid or outrageous, something no decent person would fail to react to — pretend you think Canada is part of the US, or that Donald Trump is right about Mexicans — and if the other person doesn’t call you on your bullshit, then yes, they are fuckzoning you.
