I am in no way prude, but why do they go out dressed in the way they do and feel it necessary to drink themselves into oblivion?

Not that young men and drink are any different, but we expect young women to behave in a way more befitting to the gentler sex.

Please accept my honest apology that was meant for THECORBYLOON who made an insulting remark towards me just above your 15.00 post.

So sorry once again.

// hardcore of so called feminists //

I saw a lot of female drunkeness on New Years Eve (NYE). There wasn't one political feminist among them. Try and take their drink from them, and they woulld have ripped your head off. But the same would have been true 30 years ago.
This idea that women didn't get drunk before 1997 is frankly nonsense. Of course they did.

And who has made that suggestion on here?

But the interpretation of being equal can be taken two ways.

Women are not equal in some aspects to men and visa versa, just as nature intended thank goodness.

Providing that women have equal rights in life to those of men is what matters.

I like that super posh chunder-bag the woman in pic #3 is carrying!

I don't know where you plucked the year 1997 from, but no one has suggested that women didn't get drunk before any year you care to pick. that would be just silly. But what was originally being discussed is how they now seem to display their drunkenness in public.

I'm sorry AOG. It was just that in this thread alone you've used the terms;

we expect young women to behave in a way more befitting to the gentler sex.

followed their men folk onto the battle fields.

working class wench

the present state of these females

Which led to me forming an opinion on your attitude to women.

You even confirm your attitude when you said 'in their quest for equality'.

[anotheoldgit]

Zacs-Master

And you put:

/// You've displayed an attitude which suggests that you think men should protect women and hold them in high regard. ///

I think that is checkmate.

[Zacs-Master]

Eh up DB's back with more insightful comments!

AOG, I then went on to write 'It's not your place (or mine) to suggest that women need our protection or regard'

I also provided a link to drunken men having been raped (rather than having a bloody nose) and a link to a 1960s film about the danger of women binge drinking (to illustrate that your OP title was invalid) , neither of which you have commented on. So as for check mate.........

When I first started drinking no woman would go into a pub unaccompanied by a man unless she was on the game.

(I was thinking I had better becareful how I wrote this next bit, but what the hell.

Yes, women did get drunk at Aintree in 1997, and before that. It is a very popular gathering for gypsies, and their womenfolk are big drinkers and trashy dressers. (Well some, not all).

The difference today is that everyone has a good quality automatic camera in their pocket, and a means of instantly distrubuting their photos around the world.

The Mirror has pics of young men in disarray on NYE, as well as women. There is a photo of a man without his shirt, and his pants half way down his bum. There are two men asleep in the gutter and one lying on a pile of rubbish bags.

Is it just the Mail that picks up on the women only in these situations?

I don't have a daughter, just one son, and I'd be worried to death about both sons and daughters. Thankfully, my son doesn't drink.

The problem is the Daily Wail is run by dinosaurs some of which are present on this thread.

[Gromit]

I am sure in the 1960s, the Daily Mail's dirty old men photographers were pointing their telephoto lenses up mini shirts of women.
50 years later, not a lot has changed.

[-Talbot-]

Well that's me out for one last roll of the Xmas/n.y dice

What Is It With Some Of Today's middle aged men eh?

[Mamyalynne]

They're just not as photogenic when they've had a skinful - enjoy.


You're my best mate you are!!

[rockyroad]

But drunk women in the 1950's were so much more elegant weren't they boys?
