Yeah, regardless of whatever the conclusions of the study are, (personally I'm skeptical that 'university residences are full of young men cuddling', but that's totally fine if they are), focusing on this as bad for women seems really misguided, in part as you say because it's something that doesn't seem to be suggested in the study, but also because it seems to suggest a pretty zero-sum idea of relationships.
