Default University of Warwick :2 Lads that wrote rape threats : Now Not Returning




A student magazine published the chats
the 2 male students were banned for 10 years
but now the ban is 1 year.

Debated on all BBC
and LBC Radio today


[Two students banned from the
University of Warwick for 10 years
for their involvement in a group chat
that threatened rape will be
allowed to return later this year, it has emerged.
One woman who was targeted said
she felt "terrified at the prospect
of having these boys in my seminars".]

Those do read as completely serious and believable messages.

Seems like rape isn't considered that bad and excuses are made a whole lot. Maybe the girls they were discussing were wearing skirts too much or something?

Or maybe the 'lads' in question were athletes with bright futures that shouldn't be ruined for the idea of 'fifteen minutes of fun'.

We all know that unless women walk around with chainmail, refuse all food and drink that come their way and treat every interaction with a man as a Machiavellian game of chess to make sure they don't get the wrong idea, it's their fault.

Yes but at the same time don't consider that everyman could be a rapist either, that's just fear mongering sexism

Yup, you've got to fear every man and every situation while being sure not to hurt their feelings in the process and in the end you'll still be called a liar and be put on trial as much as the rapist.

I'm pretty certain they won't have been real threats; just young idiots trying desperately to be "edgy" with each other.

Still obviously unacceptable and they've now wrecked their lives somewhat. Wups.

I know this wont be popular but young men and women make mistakes when trying to fit in, this was a whats app private conversation and while not very palatable it doesn't look like they were planning on acting on it, as I heard it they were friends with the women involved, it seems like bravado to me, not sure who leaked the conversation but they have ruined lives, loose lips sinks ships an all that, just be careful what you put in writing now a days as there is always someone ready to screenshot it
