I went to college in the 90s (thank God) but the beginning of these attitudes from women about “dating like the guys do” was already creeping in. Only I observed this: none of the women were happy when they were hooking up. They were all looking for someone. They would sit around the apartment and wait for the guys to call them blame the guys when they didn’t. I’m far from perfect but I thought it was stupid and completely reactionary to what the men were doing. It made no sense. Also the “I hate men” narrative is so corrosive because it teaches women to vilify a guy’s every move and takes away their own agency.
The most mature and successful women I knew never participated in hookup culture and found stable and loving partners. But this was considered prudish behavior or that the young women were religious.
I’ve worked for many years now and definitely saw my share of piggish behavior from men, but I’ve also seen the same from women.
