Catholic Academics Pedestalizing Women

Catholic Moral Theology: The End of Sex

Who is hooking with whom? What of women's competition for the alpha and their pursuit of recreational sex or sex in LTRs over marriage?
Men and women are not subject to the same pressures or expectations, nor are they shut out of the market equally or in the same way.

Hookup culture on college campuses is not a problem for academics to address, except in so far as they are wise members of a community. But academics are not noted for being wise or being members of a community. The same egalitarian ideology that enables female academics to attain positions (in moral theology, no less) in the first place is also the ideology that is the basis of hookup culture.

Edit. How many would be willing to read, much less agree with, this: "Let’s talk about sluts"?
