"The hookup culture that has largely replaced dating on college campuses has been viewed, in many quarters, as socially corrosive and ultimately toxic to women, who seemingly have little choice but to participate ("we're forced to be whores by the patriarchy! See, we're victims!!" 
). Actually, it is an engine of female progress—one being harnessed and driven by women themselves." This is from 2012 and this had been going on for a while already.

"By many measures, the behavior of young people can even look like a return to a more innocent age." ("We're whores but we're actually more innocent than women 100 years ago!"

The porn pic being passed around on the students’ cellphones at an Ivy League business-school party last fall was more prank than smut: a woman in a wool pom-pom hat giving a snowman with a snow penis a blow job. Snowblowing, it’s called, or snowman fellatio, terms everyone at this midweek happy hour seemed to know (except me).
“Here in America, the girls, they give up their mouth, their ass, their tits,” the Argentinean said to me, punctuating each with the appropriate hand motion, “before they even know the guy. It’s like, ‘Hello.’ ‘Hello.’ ‘You wanna hook up?’ ‘Sure.’ They are so aggressive! Do they have hearts of steel or something? In my country, a girl like this would be desperate. Or a prostitute.”
We are, in the world’s estimation, a nation of prostitutes. And not even prostitutes with hearts of gold.
Young men and women have discovered a sexual freedom unbridled by the conventions of marriage, or any conventions.
"She, like many of her peers, was high on her first taste of the hookup culture and didn’t want a boyfriend. “It was empowering, to have that kind of control,” she recalls. “Guys were texting and calling me all the time, and I was turning them down. I really enjoyed it! I had these options to hook up if I wanted them, and no one would judge me for it.”
The unbelievable gains women have lately made, and, more important, it forgets how much those gains depend on sexual liberation. Feminist progress right now largely depends on the existence of the hookup culture.
