“The “Drunk Girl in Public” video currently doing the rounds is the latest social experiment to highlight the very real danger some men pose to vulnerable women. The YouTube clip shows an actress stumbling up to a number of men, beer in hand, and asking them to help her get home. Of the five that talk to her, only one points her in the direction of the nearest bus stop. The others instead try to lure her back to their homes, ignoring her slurred protests. A few even take her by the arm and steer her their way.
The overwhelming reaction, however, is that the experiment has been staged, or – at the very least – edited in such a way as to imply all men are a threat to women. It’s a fair assumption. The woman in the film only encounters five men, as far as we can tell. It’s not exactly extensive research. It’s also filmed on Hollywood Boulevard, an area of LA not famed for its stand-up clientele. So fair enough, the experiment could be a sham. But here’s the thing, chaps. It doesn’t matter.”
