Explain what Sanders means by the phrases "Stone Age hunters" and "genderless cities" in this quotation: "The back roads of Tennessee and Ohio where I grew up were probably closer, in their sexual patterns, to the campsites of Stone Age hunters than to the genderless cities of the future into which we are rushing" (lines 43-46).

I believe that he means that the people who do not have a lot of resources, like the stone age hunters, or someone who doesn't have much, like a poor person or someone without a home. The stone age hunters were hunters from way back who did not have many materials, so they had a much more difficult time completing their tasks. Genderless cities are places where gay rights are not frown upon and people are not judged because of their gender or their sexual orientation
