'Girls Just As Bad As Boys' (College "Girls Gone Wild")
The Chicago Sun-Times ^ | March 21, 2005 | Lori Rakl and Andrew Herrmann

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.

Sleeping around affects everyone you are sleeping with -specifically the spread of STD's.

The problem is these women (girls really) sleep around for years then regret it for the rest of their lives. I don't condemn it, but really most of these young women are ill-equiped to handle the emotional baggage that comes with the promiscuity.

My just goes to show how many problems exist here and how the kids of today are just wringing their hands with all that anxiety they bear on their shoulders.

My husband always says that guys won the sexual revolution and I suspect he's right.

They think they've won in their 20's. When they try to settle down, though, they find that many of those wild party girls have developed a taste for promiscuity. So she cuckolds them, takes the kids, takes the house, and gets child support. And they start complaining about American women and the divorce courts, and become angry old men.

In the long run, everyone loses. Women lose, men lose, happiness loses, marriages lose, kids raised in single-parent households because of divorce lose. And the cycle perpetuates to the next generation.

Most of these wild girls are going to go through 3-6 husbands in their lives, or just be lonely because they can't find someone interested in marrying them after they've been used and discarded by 20 or 30 or 40 other men. Either way they'll be bitter and angry. Some of them will discover the cervical cancer is almost always caused by a sexually-transmitted virus, and they'll end up without a uterus or dead.

That poor guy. He's outnumbered at least 50 to 1.

I think that is a good point. Also, I hear a lot about men not having respect for women and chivalry being dead. Is it really any wonder?

she cuckolds them, takes the kids, takes the house, and gets child support.

Which is why I tell young men planning to marry that unless they're absolutely sure about it, then it's generally better to find some woman you can't stand and just buy her a house.

"I am sure Jack put up a real good fight...."

Ya, I'm sure he did too. Really, just Saturday night, my dinner date and I after the meal thought we'd go elsewhere for another drink. She was driving and we ended up down at the beach, Ft Lauderdale,FL It being Spring Break the traffic sucked and there were drunk kids, guys and gals everywhere. Wild isn't the word. It was only 10 PM and groups of them were heading to the area as we left. Guess it was early.

When I think about it, we were all getting ours back in the day, but this is really moral degeneracy.

Better for both men and women to stay pure until marriage, or at least until they meet the person they're certain they'll marry.

People in general, and women in particular, bond to their first sexual partners very powerfully. That's what God intended to keep a marriage together. Once that bonding power is wasted, it's tough to get it back. I think can be done through a lot of repentance, but only because God does miracles.

Staying pure, and picking your spouse intelligently for his/her friendship potential (not something superficial like looks or a nice car), and keeping God at the center of things ... those are the secrets to a happy marriage.

I was in college in the early 80's. It wasn't that way.
