Who's fault is it anyway?

I was eating and studying with a couple of my good friends and we were discussing (or lamenting) how boring things seem to be lately in the romance department. And, usually in the end of these discussions we come to realize that in college, boys suffer from a "no strings" syndrome, and sometimes even after college it can transfer into their whole identity. As a result of this phenomenon, girls feel used, neglected, and unappreciated...But I think about it, and if I was a boy in the United States college system I would not want to have a serious relationship when I can have beautiful, available girls willing to satisfy my desires without much effort. Basically, men here have the right to be lazy and still reap in the benefits. So, is it the boys' fault? 

I would argue that in the end, the ones responsible for their own domination by boys are the girls: the girls that will easily and willingly subside to the temptation of men...what does that suggest about Adam and Eve? Tempting men so freely and openly? Basically, in the end, women themselves have caused their own degradation...AND we keep doing it. Yes, we are only human and sometimes we want to have a little bit of freedom and fun, but it's important to think about the consequences and what that means for all women in the big canvas of college and life.
