First-year university students were surveyed. Questions addressed topics such as sexual activeness, condom use, gender role attitudes, and double standards (Lefkowitz et. al. 2014). To clarify, the double standard is the belief that men should be allowed (even encouraged) to have more sexual freedom than women (Lefkowitz et al. 2014). Such a belief may stem from the age-old practice of female oppression. Perhaps, society has not evolved as far as hoped. Nonetheless, the researchers concluded that compared to women, men had a greater number of sexual partners, advocated the sexual double standard, and believed that typical gender roles should be practiced
