elimination of the institutionalized hook-up culture on university campuses

Really it's "institutionalized". Sounds like someone needs a dictionary.

Besides, the gist of this article is "I don't have a magic wand, but if anyone out there does, take care of this, will ya!"

The problem is feminism, basically. Women desperately want to be dominant, and being a slut is one way to "dominate" a male and get him to do exactly what you want -- until he leaves and chooses to have a different slut "dominate" him.

Women make a lot of bad choices today, and they are eager to do so because it tells them that they are "in control". And with easy abortion, there are "no consequences".

The flip side is that men really need a civilizing influence in their lives, and if such an influence is lacking, men will behave like pigs. For centuries, men have improved their behavior because good behavior mattered to women. Today, the bad boys rule, there is no benefit to being civilized, and so male behavior rarely rises out of the gutter.

If there is one thing I'd "fix" with a magic wand, it would be Feminism.

Is there really a “rape culture” or is this just another attack on men?

“This is because many of the tools of the hook-up culture are seen as symbols of women’s liberation and equality.”

Until he doesn’t call her the next day. Then some of them will spread the notion around that they were a victim of some jerk so she can preserve her womanly virtues.

Feminists get Victorian real quick when they dont want to look cheap.

Rape is not about sex. It is about dominance.

The hookup culture has evolved due to lower and lower standards and increased demand for instant gratification, in multiple levels.

One could eliminate the latter, and the former would still be a problem.

It seems to me that in the “hook-up culture” that both parties participate, and that they equally “used” by the other. Unless there is force or coercion, the sex is consensual. I am not saying that I approve, only that it is not rape just because males may feel entitled to it, as long as the female actively participates.

While men are ultimately responsible for their actions and should have a well-formed conscience, Heather Mac Donald argues that the eradication of traditional rules of gentlemanly behavior and chivalry by progressives has undone that which keeps some men’s most primitive and brutish behaviors in check. In addition, the problem of the rape culture may be multigenerational... due to the pandemic of fatherlessness (to which the high prevalence of divorce and contraception contribute by desensitizing many men to the gravity of marriage and sex). With more and more children not being raised by their natural fathers.., or any father-figure at all, more young men have no role model to show them how to be a pubescent and post-adolescent man who handles his hormones, and young women have no point of reference for how they should expect men to treat them.

In a nutshell. It's criminal that while most rational people recognize that boys mature later than girls, the responsibility to refrain from raping a girl with whom you have been drinking illicitly on campus and with whom you then return to your college-sponsored co-ed dorm, rests solely on the boy, according to feminists and college administrators. This ruins lives.

While I have sympathy for the actual victims of aggressive rape, it is a pity that young females can devastate the reputations of males after a "date gone wrong" due to having been "empowered" by feminist logic writ large in university culture. Earlier generations of women going off to college were warned by their fathers not to go to fraternity parties, get into cars or allow themselves to be found alone with males who had been drinking.
