CARBONDALE -- On the dance floor at Gatsby's II, a popular bar at Southern Illinois University in Carbondale, a tall brunette drinks beer from a plastic pitcher while she grinds her backside into a man's body.
A silver disco ball hangs overhead while a blond woman in a pink, pleated miniskirt writhes on her partner's leg.
A girl notices that her boyfriend's attention is wandering. With a manicured hand, she grabs his face and plants a Hollywood-worthy kiss on his mouth.
On this sticky dance floor, littered with plastic cups and packed with gyrating bodies, women are the hunters as much as the hunted.
Traditional stereotypes dictate that men want sex, and women crave love. But, on today's college campuses, students say those gender lines are blurrier than a pair of beer goggles.
When a University of Illinois sorority girl observed over lunch at a Champaign cafe that "guys aren't looking for love," her friend chimed in: "I don't think we can blame it on the guys. I'm not looking for love, either."
Girls are just as bad as boys now," another woman said.
"To guys, [sex is] still like scoring," said author Tom Wolfe, who spent two years on college campuses researching his new novel. "The strange part is that it's become that for girls, too. They'll say, 'I scored Jack last night . . . finally!'''
A federal government survey of 4,600 college students found that slightly more male than female undergrads are virgins.

And this is a problem, why????
What? No pictures?
I see not too much has changed since I graduated from college in 1989 - is this breaking news?
I can tell you the girls are not like this at my institution......but I attend a private Christian college.
One of the girl dorm is dubbed the man-hating one.
Sorry, but this is crap. While SOME girls might be this way, for SOME portion of their lives, the vast majority are not. The only thing is that many young women, reading stories like this, begin to think its "ok" and normal for women to be whores, so they act out for some time, only to look back later, when they are older, and realize how friggin stupid they were. But by then it may be too late..
Yeah, the age-old thing of unwanted pregnancy sure is a pain...
Ease up, guys. These hotties will be in the work force very soon.
Oh goody, equality.
Why do I feel dirty?
"these hotties will be in the workplace soon"
Yes, suing for sexual harrassment.
They are simply at the age of humpingodrinkensis. Give them a few years and a cubicle job and they'll be like us.
All right, just enough time to install a silver disco ball in the break room ;-)
You're missing out....
My husband always says that guys won the sexual revolution and I suspect he's right. I've talked to a lot of women who played the various college sexual games for all they were worth. Turns out later, they never had an orgasm until they'd been married for several years.
All smoke, no fire.
If a girl wants to sleep around, let her, how does it effect anyone other than herself? If thats how she wants to be, then thats her. The article doesn't imply that all women on any campus is a whore, it just says that many women are more "adventurous" about sex. Doesnt bother me...
It's not too long since I graduated. Since love/marriage became nearly impossible to find, some people break down and settle for surrogate attention. Both men and women. No news really.
I tell my wife that this was a scam cooked up by some men in a smoky backroom of some all mens club back in the 60's. The feminists and liberals bought it, sink, line, and hooker.
lol....well, I don't need the wild drunken orgies of the state schools to have fun.
There are plenty of nice girls here. Some that I wish would move a bit faster, but in the end, I would rather be with a nice girl than somebody with no values.
