" A comparative study of perpetration in different generation cohorts by Anderson et al.7 found that the gender difference in perpetration reports was nonsignificant in the youngest cohort (Millennium, born 1985–2004), whereas men had higher perpetration rates than women in the cohorts of Baby-Boomers (born 1945–1964) and Generation X(born 1965–1984). They attribute this “millennium shift” toa change in the traditional sexual script that assigns men the role of initiators and women the role of gatekeepers of sexual contact. To the extent that these roles are loosened, with women taking a more active role in initiating sexual contact and men’s use of sexual coercion becoming less tolerated, the prevalence rates for men and women might become more similar,"(2) (PDF) Scripts for consensual sex as risk factors for sexual aggression: A three-wave longitudinal study with university students in Germany.
