Most colleges perpetuate a form of hookup culture in this day and age. A modern style of courtship that involves attempting to sleep with as many people as you can, as often as you can with as little emotional ties as possible. Some people enjoy this culture, some people do not. My options on this culture aside, I see no issues with it as long as both parties are safe and consenting.
However the biggest issue with hookup culture is that it sustains a completely other culture, one that I have a huge issue with, fuckboi culture. This new idea that chivalry is completely dead and men can treat women in terrible and awful ways and have it just be dismissed as "oh it's hookup culture." The worst part is, women are putting up with this shit.
I was having a wine night with some friends the other night when they began to recount their horror stories of the boys they had hooked up with in their time at Emory and I could barely believe it. I began to do more and more research and realized, almost every girl I knew could list at least three stories of a guy being a "fuckboi" to her in her time here at Emory.
This is a list of fifty responses of my choosing when I asked girls, "Tell me three fuckboi things a guy at Emory has done to you/or someone close to you." I polled dozens upon dozens of girls (both that I knew and did not, sorry for the awkward interactions girls) and received over two hundred responses. I only chose fifty in attempts to keep all identities anonymous. But the worst part was, when I asked each of the girls for three stories, almost all of them, their first response was "where do I start?"

So please remember as you're reading this article that all these things are based on real events/people. The ones at the beginning are meant to be light-hearted and fun, however the ones towards the end are simply awful. This is the culture we as a society is not only accepting, but perpetuating every day. But it isn't even just the male population, it's the females who simply turn a blind eye when boys do things like this and continue to hook up with them, knowing how terribly they treat others. Hookup culture is fine, and amazing, and honestly quite fun. However, fuckboi culture is not. #stopfuckboiculture2k15
