Grinding On the Dance Floor: Gendered Scripts and Sexualized Dancing at College Parties

Ronen, Shelly - Personal Name;

In this article, the author explores the gendered dynamics of "grinding," sexualized dancing common at college parties. Drawing on the observations of student participant observers, the author describes the common script for initiating this behavior. At these parties, men initiated more often and more directly than women, whose behaviors were shaped by a sexual double standard and (hetero-) relational imperative. The heterosexual grinding script enacts a gendered dynamic that reproduces systematic gender inequality by limiting women’s access to sexual agency and pleasure, privileging men’s pleasure and confirming their higher status.
