Males versus Females on Sexual Aggression

As I'm drafting up my last sociology essay on gender differences, I got to thinking about sexual aggression between the sexes after some careful recent observation. It appears that times are changing fast on the social circuit as individuals are out like never before being more 'daring' and 'aggressive'. Does our societal norms exert pressure on individuals to behave in certain socially acceptable and appropriate ways?
What is deemed acceptable and appropriate anyway?
Alcohol seems to be playing an active role in socialising I see people downing down their drinks, girls and guys alike, as alcohol is deemed as a 'wonder drug' on boosting their confidence maybe...or just wanting to have that 'high' feeling
A crowded club, a crowded disco, a crowded dancefloor where you bump sweat with everyone else as you succumb to the alcohol magic flowing through your veins. Teenagers and young adults out having fun, seducing each other or just having a wild time but nonetheless, when sexual attraction is encountered, which sex is the more aggressive one? Research has always found men to be the dominant one, but as I have recently observed and discovered, it seems that young women these days are more sexually aggressive then men themselves.
To my dismay, I've also observed guys downing down drinks and seconds later pukes...
I've observed girls barely into their 20s high on alcohol, falling over guys, and also being sexually aggressive in their behaviour, more so than the men they are attracting.
What happened to a glass of wine over dinner, a romantic stroll under the moonlight and some gentle flirting? Are young individuals able to alter their attitude to more 'romantic' encounters or is aggressive flirting the norm of society these days on attracting a mate?
Men versus Women
Which sex is more aggressive?
