Don't rape them but ...

[DanaC]

Well, we don't really have an equivalent here (except for a few club type things in oxbridge) but those attitudes are rife in the higher education system.

I don't get the impression things are so bad in Leeds, but there's been a lot of complaints and calls to change the 'culture of laddishness' on campuses. That sounds farily innocuous but covers a multitude of sins ranging from wandering hands and rape humour (or 'banter' as it is usually termed) to volubly mocking female involvement in seminars within certain male bastion subject areas and outright sexual assaults.
