'We must do something about toxic lad culture at Universities!'
Here are a few gems -
Kelley Temple, women's officer at the National Union of Students, says lad culture is often "sexist, misogynistic and homophobic...There is a 'sexualised culture' which occasionally spills over into sexual abuse." - So young lads are basically lads, the vast majority are fine but a small minority commit assaults, so let's punish all of them.
*In the focus groups I have attended, one girl told me: 'My friend had some guy put his hand down her pants on the dance flow. She was a really quiet girl who didn't say anything. Guys think it's ok to do that.' - young people having a feel up on the dance floor. Shocking.
"Another student recited an incident which had happened to her friend, telling me: 'My friend girl was sexually assaulted by one of our male friends after falling asleep in his bed at the end of a drunken night out, but felt she couldn't tell anyone about it. - drunk girl get's in guy's bed and for some reason he thinks she wants some action, he touches her and she says nothing. What a monster. (let's disregard the second hand nature of the story and any possibility that the friend said this so she didn't sound easy)
There are more stories some worse (real sexual harassment) some pathetic (a boy yelled something rude at me) but the overall message is the same - young men act like young men, they're horny, they tell sick jokes and wind each other up. Young women find their aggression and confidence a bit frightening - even though that is what they look for in a mate and presumably female university students have lived a sheltered life where they are unaware that young lads are looking for sex. So the answer it seems is to stop men acting like men and make them act more like women.
You know what will change this kind of behaviour? A bunch of feminists launching a confrontational campaign to emasculate them and ban everything they like. That'll go down well.
