Women"s studies 2163 feb 8 notes on reading. Hookups and hang-ups about girls, shame & sex. Starts off by talking about this girl holly who says hook up culture is not just good for the guys. Girls are made to feel like they are sluts if they sleep around too much. But guys on the other hand get praised is what society teaches us. But she says she feels good after hooking up with someone and her whole sorority house praised her after it. There is this buzz around hook up culture. Elizabeth armstrong conducted the most comprehensive research on college student hookups. Says the boom in premarital sex actually began in baby boomer generation. Says cause of pill, women"s movement etc there began a sexual revolution. Today"s generation didn"t invent the concept of a casual hook up. What has changed is that when relationships do occur now they more commonly start with noncommittal sexual contact rather than a date.
