Hardcore porn, choking and rape: UK universities left to tackle rising tide of sexual assaults

Yes, hardcore violent porn is a problem (and I just wished the industry would stop it), but are these the same universities that promote "sex work is real work" and tell girls to start selling sex (either OnlyFans, stripping or prostitution) to fund their education?

Absolutely horrifying but depressingly not surprising. I've been following Ellie Wilson's case (who is mentioned in the article) - it's shocking how poorly the University of Edinburgh dealt with her rapist transferring to their University.

I was just reading this. On one hand, glad that it seems to be an issue that is being picked up on. On the other, the bit about the perpetrators bringing in lawyers and the victims being completely blindsided just highlight the power differential in this.

I don't know about mandatory consent workshops for students - in theory sounds good but it's hardly going to be a quick fix, and a poor or misguided trainer (as we have seen, these things aren't regulated and anyone can set up as an "expert") could make things worse.
