Students have been branded dangerous for rejecting “patronising” consent classes in the latest instalment of safe space stories.

One baffled student said classes “propagate the backward message that all women are potential victims and all men potential rapists”, and that “if students really need lessons in how to say yes or no then they should not be at university.”

York University’s student union’s ‘Women Officers’ said that such disobedience led to a “compromising of students’ safety”. The classes were “approved and supported by” the university’s Feminist Society – thank goodness for that.

University: the gateway to life? More like a pathway back to the nursery.
