Woman pretends to be drunk for social experiment, gets barraged by men

39. Not to mention, she might not have chosen to drink excessively.

It's a very common thing for predatory men to use social pressure to get their intended victims to drink more than they realize. Not only does it make women more vulnerable, but it also acts as a boundary tester. Women are heavily socialized not to say no to men - it's part of pretty much every culture on earth. Predatory men use that to check whether the victim has problems enforcing boundaries in social situations - and it gives them cover if she gets visibly drunk. Not to mention, I am willing to bet that 99% of all the women on DU can tell a story of how a man got verbally or physically aggressive when they said no, or turned him down. We know what the risks are, and who will be blamed for causing a scene. (Hint, it's not the guy.
