Femininities in Flux? Young Women, Heterosexuality and (Safe) Sex
Abstract
Academic interest in sexuality and sexual practices has led to a growing body of scholarly work concerned with the deconstruction of heterosexuality. Amid past claims of women's abiding oppression has been more recent work highlighting fluidity and flux in heterosexuality generally, and masculinity and femininity particularly. This article discusses the findings of a recent empirical study of young heterosexual women in the areas of (a) female initiative and desire in heterosexual relations; (b) heterosexual practices; and (c) virginity. It is the consequences of a possible shift in definitions and practices of femininity for young women's experience of heterosex which forms the focus of this discussion.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
