George Lawlor, the Warwick University student who sent the Internet wild by dismissing sexual consent lessons<\/a>, has agreed to attend a workshop after all.<\/p>\n The student reversed his position after speaking to Josie Thorup, the women’s officer at Warwick Students Union behind the workshops, according to BBC Newsbeat<\/a>:<\/p>\n \u201cNot because I feel as if I need it. But because as a writer and somebody who’s criticised it, it’s only right that I should have a look.\u201d<\/p>\n Both Lawlor and Thorup, whose rebuttal of her critic’s piece was remarkably generous<\/a>, agreed that it was good that a discussion was prompted Lawlor’s piece, but he expressed reservations about the article:<\/p>\n \u201cI didn’t write the article well enough, I may have said the wrong things. [But] I wouldn’t regret writing the article… because it’s got this discussion going.\u201d<\/p>\n Most controversial was Lawlor posting the following image, which many attacked for reinforcing the view that nice, university-educated boys cannot be rapists.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n
