University kink/fetish societies gaining prominence

A recent story reports that universities in the UK are increasingly hosting student societies dedicated to kink/fetish matters (bondage, BDSM, fetish). One cited example: Kinkster Society at Anglia‑Ruskin University. 

Key points:

• These societies provide spaces for discussion, education, socializing around alternative sexual practices including dominance/submission. 

• A survey suggested more than half of Gen Z respondents had BDSM fantasies — indicating the subject is fairly common.
  Commentary:
  From a femdom perspective, this suggests that more people are thinking about and experimenting with power dynamics, female dominance, and alternative sexual scripts earlier in life. It also raises issues of safety, consent, and how institutions manage these topics.
