Study: Slut-shaming has little to do with sex; more to do with social class among women

17. I didn't buy the book, as it's still in hardcover...

But I did read all its reviews, from Amazon and elsewhere, and it's very clear what it's about:

Go read the Guardian's review about it:

Armstrong and Hamilton share the results of a five-year interview study on the campus of "MU" - an unnamed, Midwestern public university. The authors lived with, followed and interviewed a large group of women in a "party dorm" as they navigated college and post-college life.

Their research shows how many universities are literally designed for students privileged enough to party their way through school, knowing full well that they'll have a job waiting for them (and a parental financial cushion if they don't).

The authors dub this problem the "party pathway" - a social life powered mostly by fraternities and sororities that "provides a way for affluent, white, socially oriented students to isolate themselves from their less privileged peers." Between these social networks, plus easy majors and parents to support them throughout college and after, the new student elite is destined for success before they hit their first kegger.

This study is entirely focused on class privilege. Not a single review, positive or negative (it's nearly all positive), even mentions misogyny.
