One night stands, friends with benefits, situationships - as the stigma around casual sex decreases, over 60% of students report engaging in hook-up culture. Normalising hook-up culture aims to put an end to "slut-shaming" and eliminate double standards between male and female sexuality, but has the new leap into "no strings attached" relationships been to the detriment of the feminist movement? Does hook-up culture provide a chance for women to finally reclaim power over their sexuality or cover up another form of misogyny masquerading as female empowerment? Does the rise of hook-up culture mean liberation for women, or their subjugation to the male gaze?
