There's not one touch of feminism in this article.

I disagree, the following is the second to last sentence in the third paragraph of the article in question.

By the end of second semester these boyfriends had already broken up with the girls whose virginity they had taken and were pursuing other girls.

I'll agree there may be an argument to be made here over semantics (i.e. whether the boy took her virginity or she gave it up). However I doubt the intent was driven by feminism. If anything courtship - with its emphasis on accountability to parents and other authority figures - is contrary to feminist doctrine.

OK.....a tiny touch because it's written by a female who's heard only the girls' perspectives.

But you sure had to be looking REALLY hard for it to have that be your conclusion about the article.........and you must realize that, in spite of the increased aggressiveness in girls, that there are still guys out there who are trying to take advantage of them, succeed, and move on to other conquests.

The essence of the article is about morality.

So you don't think guys drop girls and pursue others?

Come on.

Yes, the article could have focuses on girls who leave guys to get other sugardaddies with more money etc., but I am not offended in the slightest by your perceived "feminist" slant in the article. I don't think that is her intent.
