The article doesn't say anything about feminist groups working to have the video banned from the university. As far as I can tell, you just added that yourself.

The response from feminists online has been varied, but mostly they've just used it as an opportunity to discuss the issues presented in the video through various blog posts and the parody video I mentioned earlier. I assumed you were keeping up with both sides of the discussion since you clearly have such a strong opinion on the matter and therefore assumed you were making the connection to things feminist groups have actually done (the parody video) as opposed to shit you made up (getting it banned from a university).

Edit: Just checked /r/feminism and it looks like everyone there agrees that it's ridiculous to "ban" the video too: http://www.reddit.com/r/Feminism/comments/1m95sw/robin_thickes_blurred_lines_banned_from_edinburgh/
